Hi Google folks, thanks for your great Gears product! I want to ask for the following extension of gear_init.js:
If the initial JS code on the page analyze (window.google&&google.gears), that the user's browser doesn't have Gears installed, I like to display an infobox on the website, that the user should install Gears to get all features of the site. This is not a problem, but this message should only be displayed, if Gears is available for the users browser, browserversion, platform combination! It is not very amusing for an user, to ask him or her for an impossible installation. Right now I check therefore the user's browser, version and platform, match it with the available combinations and show only in positive case a message. But it would be much better if You could integrate this directly into the Gears Javascript code. In case of new Gears versions for other platforms, You could easily change the code and surely other Gears developers like to have such an feature, too. Best regards, Sascha
