Hmmm.. I’m not very web savvy so I’m not quite understanding how this works.
In our app, when a user enters a URL in their browser, code in the On Web Connection database method in our app parses the HTTP header and gets the UserAgent value, then it serves either a desktop or a mobile html page. So the browser detection is in 4D, not on the web page. How would I do browser detection on a web page? It seems like this might be a significant architecture change.
