Portability issues - WebBrowser requirements #74

Closed tpaviot closed 10 years ago

tpaviot commented 10 years ago

I'm running an OSX 10.6.8 machine and noticed a few differences according to the Webbrowser I use. Everything seems to work fine on FF 24, but it's not the case on Chrome 29 and Safari 5.1.9 : performances are very low, the grid is not displayed correctly (a plane surface instead), and the editor is so slow that it's almost unusable. Do you suggest using a specific web browser ? Is it something that has been reported before or maybe osx specific ?

You need to either run it on a server or with the --disable-web-security flag

I don't get it. The tests I reported are ran from the website http://www.x3dom.org/editor/editor/general/, which is served by a webserver.

Thought you're working locally. There is nothing OSX specific, I'm working on 10.7.5 with (at the moment) Chrome 29, Firefox 23.0.1, and Safari 6.0.5. Everything works fine and smooth except for per-frame jQuery UI updates of translational values during per-mouse object movement in Safari, which still as an older code base than the other browsers. On Windows Safari has no WebGL support. so I can't test this, but the other Browsers work fine. Thus, I think that your machine (either operating system and/or graphics card or driver) are too weak or old for WebGL.

@yjung Ok, thank you for your explanation.
