| Abstract | There are many client-side technologies available on web today (including Adobe Flash, Microfsoft Silverlight), the most popular is without any doubt ht- ml5/JavaScript due to its widely support across all modern browsers. The biggest advantage of html5/JavaScript over Silverlight and other plug-in technologies is that it does not require a plug-in. The user does not have to install any other software to view a html5 page. This means that html has the farthest reach. Microsoft itself is shifting from Silverlight to html5 and admits at the same time that html is the only true cross-platform solution. This has led to some speculations about future of Silverlight.
The Business Monitor application is developed in Silverlight, which is a browser plug-in technology from Microsoft. The aim of this project is to examine and attempt, how to pave the way for the Business Monitor application to migrate to a cross-platform html5 alternativ that can be utilised on di erent sized screens. The last part is something that can be achieved throught the use of Responsive Design. Using Responsive Design you only need to maintain one web application and one design. The design will automatically adapt itself based on the screen size of the device.
One of the main issues with Silverlight is that the technology is poorly supported on ios | and it is totally out of the question on the mobile and tablet platform. On mac computers Silverlight performs ok using Safari and Firefox (although there are some issues with memory leaks)|but with Chrome text fields are not working. |
