Or you could just "navigate" the JAR from within your IDE (i.e. Eclipse) > For me (version 2.04) the available options are > > ie6,ie8,gecko,gecko1_8,safari,opera > > which is interesting because - whats happened to ie7? is it really not > supported? The answer is of course "NO" the ie6 option covers ie7 (but I had > to look at the code inside the XML file to find that out!) - Surely these > things should be part of the standard documentation somewhere shouldn't > they? Yes, probably. And to makes things clear: ie8 only means "IE 8 in SuperStandards mode". And IE 9 will require a new user.agent value (which is actually fortunate, because it will share more code than before with the other permutations; standards compliance FTW!) > Also, this still doesn't answer the second part of the question, which is > what do these mean? or to put it another way "where are chrome and firefox?"

I believe it should have been removed since then, but I suppose no one actually took the time to nuke it (and all associated Java files, cleaning up class hierarchies when needed) user.agent=gecko1_8 applies to both Gecko 1.8 and 1.9, i.e. every Firefox version out there. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
