ICA-AtoM has been designed with minimalist assumptions about the technology available to users and contributors. All that is required is access to the internet and a web browser. Any web browser will do. ICA-AtoM, however, does rely on "client-side" JavaScript to achieve certain effects when displaying content:
- On data entry screens, fields are grouped into sections (areas of description) that are "collapsible" (fields can be displayed or hidden).
- Some drop-down lists are are collapsible (options in the list can be expanded to display more options or collapsed to hide them).
Older browsers that do not support JavaScript will not be able to view these effects. They are still able to access ICA-AtoM unimpaired, it just won't look as nice. It is recommended, therefore, that users employ modern web browsers that support JavaScript (e.g. Firefox x+, Internet Explorer x+, Safari x+ ).
