Subject: RE: [cgmo-webcgm] Viewer Identification - One Question
Ben, Lofton, all, I understand your point. It is completly true that there is a risk to enable behavios like the one you described with your small javascript sample. Maybe a function returning nothing but displaying the name of the plugin could be a workaround. However as I said, I have no strong opinion. It was only one of this wonderful monday morning thoughts. ;-P Regards, -----Message d'origine----- De : Benoit Bezaire [mailto:benoit@itedo.com] Envoyé : lundi 2 mai 2005 20:01 À : CGM Open WebCGM TC Objet : 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.
