The Web Page widget, as well as all content in AerWave, is rendered using a recent version of Chromium. We fully support HTML5 and CSS3.
Regarding best practices, we have a few tips:
- External URLs loaded in the Web Page widget must allow cross-origin resource sharing (CORS), which typically means the external web server should include the following header in its HTTP response:
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
- Pages should not attempt to use pop-up windows, JavaScript alerts or any other techniques that could interrupt AerWave content or require manual user input. For complex presentation or interactivity (i.e. touch-enabled content), please contact Aerva with a specific description of the requirements, so we can advise.
- In most cases, it is often better to create a custom widget for AerWave rather than rely on the Web Page widget to load external URLs, since external content could be affected by network interruptions or latency. Please refer to the Aerva Widget Creation Guide for more details.
