Another developer and I are doing this primarily to determine whether the browser is CSS compliant or not. We store the value (0 or 1) in a user-scope variable and have a routine that checks for the existence of the variable on any of the entry pages of the application.

On most pages, there are two sets of code, one for CSS browsers and one for non-CSS. It's a variation on what we (EveryWare) used for the Bank of Montreal's sites to handle English vs. French.

It's been working well for almost a year now. I've begun expanding it to pull out platform and other information but as Scott mentioned, the list of possible values seems endless.

Hope this helps,

Steve Smith

Hey Tan,

Me and a buddy were talking about this before and in the javascript world
there is lots of peices of code to detect whether the browser is nestcape,
IE or somethin else.

What we were thinking was that you could have an opening page (like a login
page) where the javascript detects the browser type, then it puts that into
a hidden input on the form and when the form is submitted, that hidden input
is passed as an <@arg> that you can store in tango in a user variable so you
can check that out if your sending different things to different browsers.

does that make any sense?

Subject: Witango-Talk: Browser detection


Hi,
I would like to detect the mime type support from the user browser so that
I
can return the correct file format for the user. But when I checked with
the
<@CGIPARAM> metatag, it did not provides the attribute that I required. Is
there have any other solution for this?

Thanks.

Regards,
Tan
