Browser Support

Sun's websites support all major browsers. For the most part Sun follows the Yahoo Graded Browser Support with a few changes and additions.

Browser Grades

  • A Grade browsers are fully supported for design and functionality. Minor differences in design are acceptable given browser differences or limitations. All bugs reported are considered a high priority and fixed asap.
  • C Grade browsers are degraded or antiquated browsers. C grade browsers are not fully supported for look and feel but are spot checked for functionality. All bugs reported for C grade browsers are addressed.
  • X Grade browsers are generally unknown, assumed to be capable, modern, and rare. They are not tested or addressed in bug fixes.
