recommended for images without transparent backgrounds).

Browser Compatibility
ShutterBug websites can be viewed properly by all modern browsers and computers.
ShutterBug sites also render properly in iPhone/iPod Touch browsers, however these
browsers will enlarge the text if your site is created with a font that is too small resulting
in differences between your design and how it looks on the iPhone/iPod. If a visitor to
your site reports problems viewing your web pages, please check the following
requirements and ensure they are using the latest version of their browser. Browsers
not mentioned on this list, may or may not work. JavaScript must be enabled in the
browser to view slideshows properly.
ShutterBug output has been tested for compliance on the following platforms:
Mac OS X
• Safari 1.3 or better is best (early 10.2.8 versions of Safari have rendering issues with
most of the web).
• Mozilla 1.6 or better
• Firefox 1.0 or better
• Opera 6.0 or better
• IE 5.X for the Mac is no longer supported - While the new code might still work, we
no longer test compatibility with this browser (Microsoft has discontinued support
and development of IE for the Mac).
Mac OS 9
• IE 5.0 or better
• Netscape 6.0 or better
Windows
• IE 7.0 or better
• Firefox 1.0 or better
• Netscape 6.0 or better
- IE 6.0 no longer supported
Web pages are best viewed when the browser is displaying text size at Normal or
100%. Increasing or decreasing the text size via the browser controls will result in a
look that is inconsistent with the preview inside of ShutterBug.
Other Notes:
• ShutterBug has not been tested with the AOL browser. It should work, but the
number of versions and variations of this browser make it impossible to know
what kind of browser AOL users are really using.
• IE 5.0 and 5.5 on Windows should work, but ShutterBug is not tested for either one.
• Netscape 4.7 has no chance of ever working.
• OmniWeb is an interesting browser, but ShutterBug does not support it. It may, or
may not work.
• iCab definitely doesn't work.
• ShutterBug is occasionally tested with Linux. The latest Linux browsers appear to
work.

HTML & CSS Output
ShutterBug outputs HTML 4.01 Transitional and has been tested and validated by the
W3C Markup Validator. The CSS output is CSS Level 1 & Level 2, and has also been
tested and validated by W3C CSS Validator. You can visit these links and enter the
URL of your site to check it for valid HTML and CSS. ShutterBug file encoding is
UTF-8.
PLEASE NOTE:
We do not recommend that you hand edit the final HTML output of ShutterBug.
The HTML output has been carefully computed to render correctly on all
platforms. Additionally, we do not recommend post-processing of the HTML
output with 'optimizers' as this could result in incompatibilities. We do not
support problems that result from hand editing or post-processing of
ShutterBug output.
We strive for rendering excellence. If ShutterBug outputs HTML that is not being
rendered correctly, please let us know by sending an email to support@xtralean.com.
