Online Construction Management Software Can Be Viewed With Firefox
| Source: Communications Plus
FREMONT, CA--(Marketwire - August 15, 2007) - The Construction Communicator™
(www.constructioncommunicator.com) online construction management
software is now modified for viewing with the latest open source
Firefox (2.0+) browser from Mozilla. This means that Mac and Windows
Firefox users will have the same viewing experience as Internet Explorer
users, making it easier for the entire construction team to use the construction project
management system.
Construction Communicator helps owners, contractors and architects manage
the construction
documents that affect the day-to-day progress of the job. Specifically,
this online software helps the construction team manage Requests for
Information (RFIs),
shop drawing submittals, change order requests, Contractor Payment
Applications (G702/G703) and other contract administration
documents.
Some websites that were designed for Internet Explorer 6 can look quite
different in the Firefox browser, and some pages can be almost unreadable,
explained Richard Sampson, president of Richard Sampson Associates,
developers of Construction Communicator. "Firefox has trouble interpreting
some HTML pages with scrollable tables that are designed with Cascading
Style Sheets (CSS) for viewing in IE 6," he said.
"For online construction management to really benefit its users, it's
essential that all members of the construction team participate," he
continued. "Our compatibility with Firefox eliminates a technological
barrier, making it easy for people to view and control construction
documents online."
Firefox, which has about 10 percent of the market, is the browser of choice
for many Mac users who no longer have the option to use an up-to-date
Internet Explorer. Microsoft quit supporting Internet Explorer for Mac in
2005.
With its innovative tab menus, the open source Firefox is frequently
updated. "We are committed to monitoring ongoing changes in Firefox, and to
modifying our online software as necessary," said Sampson.
