Q: What server requirements does Inhabited Web have?
A: None. All of the processing runs either on the user's browser or our distributed backend. You just need to have access to the HTML of your website to embed the Inhabited Web script tags.
Q: How do I install Inhabited Web?
A: First, make sure you've signed up for our beta (form on the right). This will put you in the beta queue, and eventually generate an email unique to your website. The script you will embed into your HTML header tags looks like this:
<script type="text/javascript">_iwauth="[YOUR AUTH STRING HERE]";</script>
<script src="http://www.inhabitedweb.appspot.com/static/js/load_inhabitedweb.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
Q: Will it work on Linux, Mac, Amiga, iPhone, WebOS, ...
A: Yes. Because Inhabited Web runs inside of the browser, the operating system actually doesn't matter too much. What does matter is the browser - see the question below.
Q: Will it work in IE, Firefox, Safari, Chrome, iPhone, ...
A: Most modern browsers support Inhabited Web, including Firefox, Safari, iPhone and Chrome. IE 8 and above is also supported.
Q: Does it work on the iPhone?
A: Yes. The iPhone uses a version of Safari, which is a webkit-based browser, which fully supports the Inhabited Web.
Q: Can I modify the position, colors, size and other attributes?
A: Yes, to modify font color, and the color of the arrows you see, add the following to your stylesheet:
/* change the font color of the text: "showing X of Y..." */
.inhabitedweb-footer {
color: white;
}
/* Change the image of the arrow that represents the user
Image is by default 7 px wide, 13 px tall
*/
.inhabitedweb-arrow-user {
background-image: url("http://yoursite.com/yourimage");
}
/* Change the image of the arrow that represents all other people
Image is by default 7 px wide, 13 px tall */
.inhabitedweb-arrow-others {
background-image: url("http://inhabitedweb.com/static/imgs/lightBlueArrow.png");
}

Q: I've followed all the instructions, but don't see anything on my website.
A: Are you sure you've followed all the instructions? Double check your authorization string is correct (no spaces or anything). It could also be some issue with the layout and CSS of your webpage. Try making a blank webpage with only Inhabited Web installed and see if that works. If nothing is working, see the bottom of this page.
Q: I see something, but it's weird / doesn't look right / is causing layout problems on my webpage?
A: There may be a layout / CSS conflict going on. There isn't much we can do on our side. We'd suggest making sure Inhabited Web works with a blank webpage first. Once you've confirmed it's working on your website, then try to slowly modify the CSS / HTML on your other page to see if you can get them to play nicely.
