There's talk about doing something with a "os/browser bean" that would handle the detection, and then you could use a tag to expose that information in the page if needed.
In any event, this functionality is not directly related to the framework resources, and so would be best provided by a generic extension developed somewhere like Jakarta Taglibs. Now that places like Jakarta Taglibs is running full steam, and the standard taglibs are on the horizon, it is unlikely that any new functionality will be added to the Struts logic tags. -- Ted Husted, Husted dot Com, Fairport NY USA. -- Custom Software ~ Technical Services. -- Tel +1 716 737-3463 -- http://www.husted.com/about/struts/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Hi Jay, > > Yeah, coming down to having two tags.
