[cfaussie] Re: Finding IE5

[Stephen Bosworth]

Hi Seona,   If your doing the detection for _javascript_ capabilities, the best way is to do it in your _javascript_, and not rely on the cgi.user_agent string.  This string may not be passed if users have firewalls turned on their computers.   Your better off using something like this in your _javascript_:-   var ie = document.all?1:0; var ie4 = (document.all && !document.getElementById)?  true : false; var ns4 = (document.layers)? true : false; var ie5 = (document.all && document.getElementById)? true : false; var dom = (document.getElementById && !document.all)? true : false; var isMac = (navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Mac") != -1)? true : false; var ie45 = (ie4 && isMac && navigator.appVersion.indexOf("4.5")!=-1)? true : false;   HTH, Steve   -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Stephen Bosworth Application Development and Integration Communication and Information Services The University of Newcastle, Australia Phone: 02 4921 6574 Fax: 02 4921 7087 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 5/02/2004 12:01:14 pm >>> Hi Seona, I use the value of cgi.http_user_agent to determine browser info.
