Any HTML5 compatible browser should be able to run argos-sdk
without issue, namely: Chrome 11+, FireFox 4+, IE 9+, and Safari 5+.
Cache
During development you may wish to disable browser caching: storing of cookies, form data, history, local storage etc. This way you can make a change to your code and simply refresh your browser to load the new changes:
- Chrome: Incognito
(Ctrl+Shift+N)
- FireFox: Private Browsing
(Ctrl+Shift+P)
- IE: InPrivate Browsing
(Ctrl+Shift+P)
These private browsing modes either a) don't store any information or b) store them in a temp location and is deleted upon closing the window. There are also command line arguments to always open the browser to a particular mode or profile.
Console/Debugging
The final step is making sure you can:
- Access the javascript console
- Inspect HTML/CSS of the document
- View any network activity for your browser of choice:
Chrome
