Abstract
The web browser acts as a facilitator—downloading, rendering, and executing your web application for your end users. The web browser has the power and potential to make simple code look like a glossy magazine article (in the case of Apple’s Safari browser) or as plain text without any images or advanced abilities (in the case of the open source Lynx browser, available from http://lynx.isc.org/).
