Subject: Re: [cgmo-webcgm] Viewer Identification - One Question
Hi Franck, I don't have a strong opinion on this... You are asking for a 'getPluginVersion()' method, right? Ideally, those are not suppose to be part of standards since we are trying to avoid things like this: if( getPluginVersion() == "a specific plugin" ) { do stuff... } else alert( "a specific plugin is required to view this page" ); On the other hand, all implementations have minor bugs and such a function can be useful. I think the question really is: Should this be a documented API or not? I have no opinion on the matter. -- Benoit mailto:benoit@itedo.com Monday, May 2, 2005, 8:21:54 AM, Franck wrote: DF> Hi all, DF> A question came up to my mind recently and I would like to get your thought on it.
