Requirements for the SAS Design-Time Controls

The following sections detail the software prerequisites for using the SAS Design-Time Controls:

Client Requirements

These client machine requirements apply to the machine on which the Web pages are created and not to the machine on which the pages are viewed. See our Web browser requirements for information about viewing pages that are created with SAS Design-Time Controls.

The SAS Design-Time Control client components must be installed on a machine that is running a Windows operating system with Microsoft Internet Explorer Version 4.00 or later.

Note: If you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer Version 5.5, then you must install Internet Explorer 5.5 Service Pack 2 (SP2).

To use the controls, you must also have an HTML editor that supports them. The following list contains some editors that support our Design-Time Controls.

*Important note to FrontPage 98 users: If you want to use the SAS Design-Time Controls with FrontPage 98, then you must install a patch for FrontPage 98 in order for the controls to work properly. The patch can be downloaded from office.microsoft.com/downloads/9798/fp98bupd.aspx.

If you do not find the patch or cannot access this URL, then try going to www.microsoft.com and search for a file named fp98bupd.exe. After you install this file, the controls will work properly with FrontPage 98.

Web Browser Requirements

To view Web pages that are created with SAS Design-Time Controls, you must have a Web browser. The Web browser requirements vary from control to control. Some of the controls produce only HTML. This HTML output can be viewed in the majority of browsers on a variety of hosts. Other controls produce tags that invoke Java applets or ActiveX controls. To view this output, you must use a browser that supports Java applets or ActiveX controls.

Web Server Requirements

Note: If you installed Version 8 or later of the SAS/IntrNet CGI Tools for the Web Server package, you already have the SAS/GRAPH client components on your Web server. These components are also available on the Client-Side Components CD that is included with your Version 8 SAS System.
