I have not looked at the Present Tag code or the design. However, I think if it is designed to be flexible, present tag can be used to check the browser and the os.
One way is to expand the "Scope" values. One more scope value can be added as "System" where the present tag will "search" for values regarding system.

Hi Jay, Yeah, coming down to having two tags. Would be great to add them to logic:present tag, but not sure it would work - seems to me there is a fundamental difference in that logic:present is checking for values in the request. What do others think? Dave PS Cross posting to dev list too.

I like the idea for the OS and Browser check. However I would suggest that the checks be made separately and not within one tag. How about if we can modify the logic:present to have two more parameters? ( that can also go for notPresent ). E.g. <logic:present os="unix"> <!-- the code --> </logic:present> <logic:present browser="Netscape" version="4.0"> <!-- the code --> </logic:present> Above approach will result in less of a learning curve and fewer tags.

I have something written that will do the server-side browser detection, etc. but not a tag for it. It's actually an adaptation of a nice PHP-based script that I stumbled on a while back. :) It'd be a great idea for a tag though - go for it! :) Chris Christopher Assenza Phone: 412.201.6026 Fax: 412.201.6060 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ACCESSDATA Moving Your Business from Point A to Point e.SM http://www.accessdc.com/ -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, October 03, 2001 4:59 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: OS / Browser tag? Sorry, maybe that wasn't clear! I am basically looking for an IF tag which utilises the OS and/or the browser that the client is running on. eg IF Unix and Netscape THEN.... would be <logic:IF_os_browser os="unix" browser="Netscape"> //do something </logic:IF_os_browser> and the tag would automatically check for current client os and browser. Hope that's clearer!

Hi everyone. Just wondering if anyone has written a tag to do something specific to OS or Browser? I'm probably going to write my own if no-one else has already done it! Cheers, Dave
