### Works with a variety of browsers

The Web Component Server handles report generation and distribution on the server side. The user, however, views a report using one of the Report Viewers. These browser-based viewers provide complete access to report information without the need for installing any additional applications on the client machine other than a web browser.

There are six report viewers included with Seagate Crystal Reports. These are:

- Report Viewer for ActiveX
- Report Viewer for Java using Browser JVM
- Report Viewer for Java using Java Plug-in
- Report Viewer for Netscape Plug-in
- Report Viewer for Standard HTML with Frames
- Report Viewer for Standard HTML.

Each viewer has its advantages, and you can choose the viewer that works best for your web site. If you do not specify a viewer, the Web Component Server automatically specifies a viewer based on the web browser used to request the report.
