Browsercaps

[Jman]

Someone knows where I can find a good explanation about browsercaps?
I want Firefox to as an up-level browser.
The default rendering is bad with Firefox when using ASp.NET.

I tried this http://slingfive.com/pages/code/browserCaps/

but it does not work

So what I have to do is detect the browser from the vbscript and resize the
objects myself.

what a pain!

someone has a comment on this?

re:

Maybe it doesn't work because that code detects Firefox 1.0, not FF 2.0.

"Note: I've tested it with Netscape 6 & 7,
Mozilla Firebird/Firefox 0.7-1.0, Konqueror, Safari, and Opera 6-8."

You'll need to add FF 2-specific detection.

Here's what FF 2.0 returns when I identify it on my OS :

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0

a. Browser = Firefox
b. Version = 2.0
c. MajorVersion = 2
d. MinorVersion = 0
e. Platform = WinNT
f. EcmaScriptVersion = 1.4
g. Type = Firefox2.0
h. TagWriter = System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter
a. ActiveXControls = False
b. AOL = False
c. BackgroundSounds = True
d. Beta = False
e. Browser = Firefox
f. CDF = False
g. ClrVersion = 0.0
h. Cookies = True
i. Crawler = False
j. EcmaScriptVersion = 1.4
k. Frames = True
l. JavaApplets = True
m. JavaScript = True
n. MajorVersion = 2
o. MinorVersion = 0
p. MSDomVersion = 0.0
q. Platform = WinNT
r. Tables = True
s. TagWriter = System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter
t. Type = Firefox2.0
u. VBScript = False
v. Version = 2.0
w. W3CDomVersion = 1.0
x. Win16 = False
y. Win32 = True

You'll have to incorporate that info into a FF 2-specific browser identification, like the one
http://slingfive.com/pages/code/brow...aps_spaces.txt
has for Firefox 0.7-1.0.

read this
http://firefox.codebetter.com/blogs/...29/128623.aspx

you can add browsercaps and not everything will be good
better resize the object userself when it is not IE

if you have an internal project to the company make sure your users use IE.
Firefox is not good enough

asp.net tables in firefox is a nightmare.

viva IE!
