Maxwell Introduction
Understanding the Maxwell Web Interface
Maxwell is an Internet-based system that is primarily accessed through a web interface. Maxwell's web framework takes advantage of the capabilities of today's latest web browsers so only a few browsers are capable of accomodating Maxwell. Supported browsers are:
- Safari 2 (Mac OS 10.3.9 or higher)
- Safari 3 (Mac or Windows)
- FireFox 2.x (Mac and Windows)
- IE7
A few other notes about Maxwell's web technology
- Single-page application
- When you navigate to the Maxwell web page, it may take a little time to load. Maxwell is a single-page application, so after the initial page load all new information will be added or removed from the page, rather than the whole page refreshing. This makes accessing your data much faster and even works well over dialup connections!
- AJAX technology
- Avoid the 'Back' button
- Your web browser's back button does not understand modern AJAX technology
- Avoid leaving the page (for now)
- Maxwell expects your entire session to take place in the single web page. Leaving the Maxwell page(even for other CHROMiX pages) and returning will probably require you to sign back into the system.
- Bookmarking Maxwell
- Bookmarking is not available yet, but it will be soon.
