Hi Magnus,
I do it like this:
public static native String getUserAgent() /*-{
return navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase();
}-*/;
public void onModuleLoad() {
....
if (MyMainClass.getUserAgent().contains("msie 6.0")) {
HTML message = new HTML("Please notice: as you are
using an old
version of your browser, some functionalities of this site may be
limited.");
message.setStylePrimaryName("info");
RootPanel.get("info").add( message );
}
....
}
The warning is displayed on top of the page. You may want to have a
look at www.dotvoting.org where I've implemented it. I noticed that
not only many transparencies of my icons are currently not rendered
well, but also some layouting is wrong. However, as the main functions
should work, I thought adding a message for IE 6 and focusing on IE 7,
8, FF, Chrome, Safari, ... is more appropriate than making it perfect
for IE 6.
Hope this helps,
Sven
