Browser support

All major modern browsers must be fully supported. Both on Windows and Mac OS platforms. Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 and above, Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.6 and later, Opera 9.20 and up, Apple Safari 2.0.4 (WebKit ver. 419.3) and later versions.

Mobile Device’s support

Mobile web browsing must be supported. Mobile browsers must be automaticaly detected. Website must include a CSS version for mobile.

Abobe Flash support

Version 8.0 and up. Flash is used only for banner ads. Alternative gif or jpg versions of banners must be provided. Flash version detection is obligatory. Swf files must be embeded through javascript to avoid the "click to run Active components" feature in IE. It is recommended to use swfobject for such purposes: http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/

Liquid layout

All Parex banka websites have only liquid layout. Fixed one is restricted. But this "liquidity" must always be limited to 1300px. This can be achieved with CSS (max-width for W3C compatible browsers) and "Dynamic properties" for Internet Explorer (using expression() tags). IE expressions are basic javascript turned into Microsoft proprietary, CSS like arguments and calculations. Such expressions can be used when it is impossible to achieve the same effect as with all other browsers. Oldschool javascript calculations that listen for browser width or anything are not preferable since the layout must be simple and clean.

Relative units

All fonts must be in relative units: percents or em. Font size in fixed units (pixels or points) is depricated.
