How it works
Methodica LogzMon consists of server-side and client-side components. The server-side components are PHP scripts, templates, and configuration files.
The client side component is dynamically generated from a template and updated by the serverside
main script. It is an HTML page containing HTML code, style sheets (CSS), and JavaScript code.
This page should be correctly processed by modern browsers.
Client and server components communicate using AJAX technology. I.e. your browser must be configured to allow for running JavaScript and, when you are using the Internet Explorer browser,th provided by MicrctiveX component provided by Microsoft.
