Supporting web crawlers and unknown browsers
Unknown browsers and other user agents are served standard web pages in a navigable format. This ensures that all users can enjoy the experience and that web crawlers are fully supported.
Whilst the preferred finanz tools user interface is a highly interactive Javascript enhanced web page, we recognise the vital importance of supporting all users, while always providing full disability access. In particular, we realise just how important it is that your content can continue to be crawled by search engine bots that list all of your services and products.
The finanz tools server component therefore looks at the user's declared user agent before deciding which of several user interface versions to serve.
A growing range of AJAX compatible user interfaces are being implemented to support online users. At present finanz tools support Microsoft IE5+ on Windows 2000 and Windows XP. Firefox Version 1.5+ is also supported and others will follow soon.
The basic principle is this: finanz tools look at the end user's user agent type, and if it can't support that type or version with AJAX, or if Javascript is disabled for accessibility or other reasons, then the finanz tools user interface is served as non-interactive web pages. Doing so enables all web crawlers and users to fully traverse all of the information contained within finanz tools.
