[cfaussie] Re: Finding IE5

[Seona Bellamy]

Hi Stephen,   Thanks, but it's not actually for _javascript_. I have some positioning issues with my menus - the sub-menus display just fine in everything except IE5, where they overlap the main menu bar and are thus impossible to see or select. So I want to include a different stylesheet for IE5 users which will have some different numbers it it.   Cheers,   Seona. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Stephen Bosworth Sent: Thursday, 5 February 2004 1:16 PM To: CFAussie Mailing List Subject: [cfaussie] Re: Finding IE5 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.
