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.
