Can someone tell me if CMS Made Simple is cross browser compatible?
Also, how easy is it to install CMS Made Simple?
Is it easy for clients to use? Does it have to be on every page of a site or just on the pages that someone would want to edit?
Thank you very much.

Browser Compatibility / Easy to Install?
Re: Browser Compatibility / Easy to Install?
Yes, it's cross-browser compatible. I had some issues with the old PHPLayers menus on IE (with a large menu tree, admittedly) but the new CSSMenu system is compatible with IE 5.x upwards, and of course with proper standards-compliant browsers like Firefox, Mozilla et al. It even works with IE and Netscape on MacOs 9, which is saying something.
Installation is a walk in the park for any vaguely competent sysadmin geezer. You just need to understand the basics of configuring your web server, your PHP and your database.
It looks pretty easy for clients to use. I chose it because the site I'm setting up should be maintained by the subject matter experts themselves, not by a techie like me! Otherwise I'd just edit the site in 'vi' the same as before! Really, the way the automagic menus work is so sweet, that I'm tempted to re-jig my static sites to use CMSMS.
Setting up the look of a new site will be easier if you have some clue about CSS. A good book (which is nice and thin) is "Stylin' With CSS". But you don't need to read that just to get a basic framework up to play with.
Support on the forum is really excellent, BTW. If only paid-for products were so well supported....
