Hi, If have recently played with several nice libraries that would help to broaden browser support for modern web technologies. These include web- socket-js, svgweb and swfupload.
To make a decent GWT module around them there is often a problem how to include JS file that is doing all the magic. The easiest way is to use a script tag in module description file. Things usually work fine this way, but I really wouldn't like to punish good browsers like Safari and Chrome. For example a solid SVG support is possible without svgweb for most browsers without the Neuberg's great library, but I'd want to include it only for IE. The same goes for my latest project http://vaadin.com/addon/dontpush ( provides WebSocket support for Vaadin and plain GWT too). So the question is, is it possible to include external javascript only for specific browser permutations? If not, are there any plans for such a feature? I'd guess it would be easy to implement. If this is not currently possible, does someone have an alternative solution for this? Those libraries are often built so that they rely on unload event and expect to be attached to head. Injecting those libraries on runtime via e.g. IE widget implementation, is therefore sometimes impossible. I would not also like to add requirement to modify host page headers (and conditionally to browser ua string) GWt modules. cheers, matti -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
