The type of web client (Ajax, html, or mobile) is automatically selected based on your browser. You can also manually select a client from the SFU Connect login page. The default web client is Ajax, the standard platform for SFU Connect. It allows for a Web 2.0 feel: objects can be dragged and dropped; right clicking on items shows a context menu. Zimlets (mash-ups for extra functionality) are functional only in the Ajax client. The html client is more lightweight. It looks similar to the Ajax version, but does not contain all the functionality. This version is automatically selected for older browsers.
