New issue 1042 by felix8a: sometimes it's helpful to know the real browser version
http://code.google.com/p/google-caja/issues/detail?id=1042 caja sometimes exposes browser quirks that are harmless and probably not worth the effort to normalize. example 1: <table><tr><td id='a'></td></tr></table> <script> alert(document.getElementById('a').align); </script> in firefox, the result is 'left'. in other browsers, the result is ''. example 2: <script> var a = document.createElement('div'); a.setAttribute('title', ' 123 '); alert(a.title.length); </script> in opera, the result is 3. in other browsers, the result is 7. I think this is mainly a problem for testsuites. a test case might want to account for a known quirk by sniffing the browser version. however, in a caja sandbox, the navigator object only mentions caja, it doesn't expose any info about the real browser. given that the caja sandbox doesn't prevent indirect sniffing of the real browser version, I don't think there's much risk in exposing the real browser version somewhere in the navigator object. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
