1. Introduction

Welcome to TWIG's administrators Manual, this manual covers the configuration and maintenance of TWIG.

TWIG's main design goal is to be as functional as possible across the broadest base of browsers, to this end TWIG does not use any advanced features that are dependent on the browsers.  These include JAVA, JavaScript, VBScript, or any other scripting language.  All processing is done at the server.

Some exceptions are made when an open standard exists and the feature(s) can be made universally accessible. Therefore, some processing is occasionally done at the client if and only if there is a server-side "safety net." For example, there may be JavaScript to start a page load after a pop-up menu selection is made. However, there is still a button available in case the web browser has no JavaScript support or JavaScript has been turned off.

TWIG is developed in a language called PHP (please see http://www.php.net or details on PHP).
