We have an issue with a site wanting to remain in app mode. At the time being there is no method to open a new window in that mode from the page (no Window.Open) and they use a multi-document interface. The work around would be to navigate instead of opening a new window. However, they do not want to change their interface for all browsers.
For the time being, until a HTML5 App spec and associated DOM extensions are proposed, would it be possible to either 1) Append text to the user-agent string 2) Send a header from the browser 3) Expose a boolean readonly property to the dom (say the Window object) where a user can query whether or not they are in app mode ( either Window.Application mode or possible Window.AddressBar ) We would like to do (3). Is this possible? -brad On Jan 7, 5:07 pm, Peter Kasting <[email protected]> wrote: > On Wed, Jan 7, 2009 at 4:34 PM, Brian Rakowski <[email protected]> wrote: > > There's not currently, but we have considered it several times.
