Browser id script

I am trying to write a script that will identify which browser a user is using and direct them to a specific web page designed for their specific browser. Here is my script.
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>JavaScript - Browser detect</TITLE>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" TYPE="text/javascript">

</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
The problem is that the script automatically forwards to the first location and doesn't even seem to be reading the if statement. Basically if you visit the page with netscape you still get forwarded to the microsoft page. I am fairly new to this so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt

Here is my new revised script. I think I have fixed all the inconsistent strings and the IF statements. It still forwards netscape to the microsoft page. Any ideas?
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>JavaScript - Browser detect</TITLE>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" TYPE="text/javascript">

</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>

DW8 and "browser-safe" scripts

I don't know if this is a bug in DW8 or a local problem, and
it's not really important either way, but I did want to get it off
my chest. When I open a HTML page containing a Shockwave movie
embedded with an <object> tag into DW8, I get the prompt that
the <object> tag may not work properly with recent versions
of IE, and do I want to use a browser-safe script instead? Out of
curiousity I've given this a go and uploaded a test page, and
amusingly the page now gives two runtime errors in IE6 which prompt
you to run the Microsoft Debugger - see
http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/nursing/sonet/test/dyslexia_test/2.html.
No such problem in Mozilla 1.7, of course. This is probably caused
by there being other Javascript scripts on the page, but it did
make me chortle anyway. "Browser-safe", eh? ;-)
I was hoping that the fix might kill the irritating but
non-fatal IE prompt you sometimes get on pages with Shockwave
movies, which prompts you to click Ok to run ActiveX content, but I
think I'll live with that rather than runtime errors...
Cheers
Fred

"Browser-safe", eh? ;-)
Definitely. Are you talking shockwave or Flash? The former is
for Director
files, the latter is for errr Flash files.
Anyhow, your two errors are -
Line 2, syntax error.
Line 159, object expected.
Fix the first by removing this line -
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
It's not needed, and furthermore, it hurts you by putting IE
into quirks
mode. I'm not quite sure why it's throwing this js error
though. <shrug>
The second error is caused by your failure to upload the
Scripts folder,
which contains the function called on line 159 -
<script type="text/javascript">
AC_SW_RunContent( '
Do those things and you'll see a difference.

Browser detection script

Hello,
I'm wondering how playback in Flash or on older browsers work. Does the published content run a browser detection script?
Thank you.

Actually this seems to work better:
if (accept.indexOf("vnd.wap.wml") >= 0) {
// I have a WAP browser...
}I thought Opera (being WML compatible) would load the WML content, but thankfully it does not broadcast it in the Accept header.
Thanks.

Web browser and script activeX controls and HTML data

Hello,
I'm trying to use the Microsoft Web Browser (IWebBrowser2) and Script (IScriptControl) activeX controls in Labview to evaluate and execute HTML script. If I wire the web browser control's document object to the object input of the Script control's AddObject method, I can then evaluate/execute script such as "document.f.btnI.focus();" and such (in this case corresponding to Google's home page). However, there are other expressions that include the "window" object that are proving much more difficult to work with. Although I can browse the document object's parentWindow object via the property browser, if I try to access that object programatically, I get the error "Error -2147467262 occurred at No such interface supported". I'm wondering how to include the window object for scripting.
I'm writing a content-oriented web crawler. I've been writing it with pretty low level TCP functions, handling 301/302 "object moved" and "<META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" CONTENT="0; url=http://millercountyliberal.com/">" redirections manually. But there are other automatic script-based redirections like:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

</script>
that I'm still trying to figure out how to work with. As you can see, to work with that one manually involves the window object. The reason that I don't just let the Web Browser object handle the redirections is because that object often throws script errors, downloads embedded graphics and other unnecessary components, can't handle some non-standard redirections, and sometimes annoyingly crashes. Any help would be appreciated. A code sample is attached. The Web Browser control should already exist on your machine if you have Internet Explorer installed. The script control may need to be registered before it can be used as follows:
regsvr32 "c:\MyDir\XHTTP.dll"
Thanks.

Hi Ted,
This seems to be a problem with the way you are referencing the ActiveX properties. I would research a little more on the API for these objects. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/browser/webbrowser/reference/ifaces/iwebbrowser2/document.asp for an explanation of the IWebBrowser2 Document property. I am suspicious of where you are typecasting the Document variant into the IHTMLDocument2 object and this is where the error is being thrown.
A search of this error code on Google shows that this is a generic error from the ActiveX object, and not a LabVIEW error, although it is confusing since LabVIEW uses error codes in this same range.
Hope this helps!

Browser Check Script Needed

Hi,
we need a script, or whatever you sugegst, to include into
index.htm page which contains main flash file to check user's
browser and provide a note to users of FireFox and Opera.
The problem: site built in FLash 8 with Action Script 2 and
exported for latest Flash player. FireFox and Opera displaying bad
results, IF THEY DON'T HAVE latest player installed. Even if there
is a latest player installed for Internet Explorer it does not
reflect on Opera or FireFox. So we need to tell users to go to a
specific page on Adobe site and download and install it using these
browsers.
Please help.
Thx.

It would be more accurate to say "very few" people will
download and
install the software you recommend. I promote Firefox very
heavily on my
websites, through a Google Firefox referral button. I get
very few sales
- but I do get some.
In the near future, I will likely scale back my campaign in
hopes of
increasing traffic, but I will likely ban visitors using IE
entirely
from adult political sites (once they're finished), partly as
an experiment.
Note, also, that there are actually quite a few sites that
suggest or
recommend particular browsers. For example, if you do some
research on
SVG images, you'll find notes that you can't view them in
certain
websites unless you download a special SVG viewer. Granted,
these are
specialized websites, but aren't all websites unique?
The script Gary showed you will probably work, except that it
targets
ALL non-IE browsers (which may be what you want). You might
also want to
check out

Yes, though it sounds like you have a special situation here.
P.S. Gary White is one of the more respected gurus here. He's
just too
lazy to show you a script that specifies Firefox and Opera
only. :)

Browser scrollbar scripting?

I've done a bit of research and still not to sure how exactly
to do this...
If you have a fullscreen flash site, by default your browser
scrollbar is disabled. So if someone's screen is smaller than the
site, they can't scroll to see whats off the page. How do you
enable the browser scrollbar with a fullscreen flash site?

Well I figured you were talking about making my flash movie a
pixel value instead of percent. But I figured I'd try the
<div> tag anyway, but no luck there. It constrains the flash
movie to the size of the <div>.
So changing my movie to a pixel value isnt really what I'm
looking to accomplish. (unless there's a way to assign a pixel
value, but still make it fill 100% of the window) Here is an
example of the site I'm working on:
click here.
As you can/will see, I have limited the amount of content in
the body, and I cant add anything below that because some monitors
wouldn't be able to scroll to it.
Hopefully this helps interpret what I'm trying to do.

Reliable Browser Detection Script

I'm looking for anyone with experience detecting if the browser is making the request is coming from a PDA or cell phone, vs. a desktop.
I want to redirect all PDAs and cellphones to a different section of the site automatically. I was hoping to find something a little more intuitive than just looking for 'Mozilla" in the user-agent.
Thanks.

Actually this seems to work better:
if (accept.indexOf("vnd.wap.wml") >= 0) {
// I have a WAP browser...
}I thought Opera (being WML compatible) would load the WML content, but thankfully it does not broadcast it in the Accept header.

Wmode and dreamweaver browser safe script for active x

I usually don't use the javascript that dreamweaver generates
for active content (AC_RunActiveContent.js) I've been using another
javascriptcode, but at work I've been told to use the code from
Dreamweaver. Some times I might use transparent Flash or change the
stacking order using "wmode=opaque" My problem is when I embed a
Flash file and I want to use wmode neither <param name="wmode"
value="transparent" /> or "opqaue" works. Am I overlooking
something.

Browser is idle when trying to run 2 sessions sequentially in 1 script

Hi,
When i try to run 2 browser sessions sequentially in one script.The browser is remaining idle after executing the 1st one.
Scenario on Execution :
1st Session: Opens Browser > executes scripts > Closes Browser

I tried reinstalling browser helper files but still the issue is not resolved.
System Configuration :
Win 7,Openscript 12.2 and browser is IE 8.
Can anyone please help me on this issue.
Edited by: 1004422 on 06-May-2013 21:10
Note : Issue is only observed for custom scripts, for recorded and played back scripts its working fine.

It is working after replacing the browser.close() to close a session with the web.window("path").close option.
Thanks,

User console redirection webpage uses unnecessary browser sniffing

User console redirection webpage uses unnecessary browser sniffing
https://ps.palmws.com/palmcsext/console/
That user console redirection webpage has this piece of JavaScript that uses unnecessary browser sniffing:
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
function checkBrowser()
var agt=navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase();
var is_mac = (agt.indexOf("mac")!=-1);
var is_ie = (agt.indexOf("msie")!= -1);
var is_opera = (agt.indexOf("opera")!= -1);
var is_firefox = (agt.indexOf("firefox")!= -1);
var is_window = (agt.indexOf("window")!= -1);
var is_safari = (agt.indexOf("safari")!= -1);
if (is_window) {
if (is_firefox || is_ie || is_safari) {
window.location = "/palmcsext/console/pages/LoginPage.iface";
} else {
window.location = "/palmcsext/console/notfound/notfound.html";
} else if (is_mac) {
window.location = "/palmcsext/console/pages/LoginPage.iface";
} else {
window.location = "/palmcsext/console/pages/LoginPage.iface";
</script>
The browser sniffing is pretty harmful. Remove it.
Just simply change the script to:
window.location = "/palmcsext/console/pages/LoginPage.iface";

If you look at the logic, even unsupported browsers will pass the test.
The if statements only check for supported browsers running on Windows or Mac OSes. If the user is using a different OS, regardless of supported or unsupported browser, the webpage will still redirect correctly.
The script doesn't do a good job of checking for supported browsers either. The user can set a custom user agent, and the code can't rely on the user agent string.
Checking for browser support should be done by feature detection, not by user agent string checking.
If the user sets a custom user agent string or uses a browser with which the code works, then it harms the user.
The concept of the web is that it should work everywhere. Blocking browsers not only harms the user but also harms the web.
If the code is written to web standards, the webpage should work in all modern browsers.
Thus, it is pointless, inefficient, and unnecessary to have those if statements there.
Like I said, the code can be simplified by just using 1 line:
window.location = "/palmcsext/console/pages/LoginPage.iface";
I have asked for more specifics here to find out why that logic is in place. Not saying I can post back anything, but I have asked.
And unless I'm reading it wrong, the check for unsupported browsers (so anything NOT firefox, ie or safari) only happens if you're running windows. If you're on Mac or some other OS, it directs to the working page. I have asked about that, too.

Unable to upload sql scripts in oracle database express edition 10g

Hi!
To start, I inform you that I am beginner with Oracle. I installed Oracle 10g Express Edition on my Ubuntu 9.10 like this:
:~$ dpkg -i oracle-xe-universal_10.2.0.1-1.0_i386.deb
:~$ /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure
and I keep default value. Then I go on http://127.0.01:8080/apex, I login with system account, I create another dba account etc ... all looks very well ! Then I follow this tutorial: http://st-curriculum.oracle.com/tutorial/DBXETutorial/index.htm
and I am unable to load sql script which is given in this tutorial: load_sample.sql (page:What to do first> Loading Data). I try with a little sql script and same result. I use gedit with UTF-8 and load in UTF-8, my browser is Firefox (I try with Epiphany also).
The result is: when I upload a script, The browser returns "script uploaded." Then I can click on my script but the file is empty ! Nothing is done when i click on "run". Also I can' create a script; With Epiphany browser, the frame to write is all red. To import a script I have to copy one by one request in sql commands. I try also to change the owner of load_sample.sql:
-rw-r--r-- 1 oracle dba 49969 2010-01-10 12:05 load_sample.sql
But it doesn't work. If someone has an idea ? Thanks for your help.
regards
Alex.
load_sample.sql:
CREATE TABLE regions
( region_id NUMBER
CONSTRAINT region_id_nn NOT NULL
, region_name VARCHAR2(25)
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX reg_id_pk
ON regions (region_id);
ALTER TABLE regions
ADD ( CONSTRAINT reg_id_pk
PRIMARY KEY (region_id)
) ;

Hi,
So, go to shell ,position yourself in the path where load_sample.sql is, login to the XE as the user with whom you need to run load_sample.sql , and execute
+@load_sample.sql.+
Sorry to hijack this thread but I am having exactly the same problem in Ubuntu, it seems as if IE is the only browser that allows you to do this, but installing that in Ubuntu looks like a whole other world of pain I do not really want to get involved in at the moment.
I like the sound of just shortcutting the sql upload through the shell but I'm a beginner and I do not understand your comment well enough to implement it myself.
Could you please explain these in more granular layman's terms for someone who is unfamiliar with Linux syntax?
By 'Shell' do you mean the Terminal or the SQL Command Line? What exactly should I be typing in there to execute the sql?
I have saved the SQL file on my desktop (jon@jon-pc, it's a virtual Ubuntu machine on a Windows Vista host).
Thanks in advance
Jon

Cross Frame Remote Scripting = Access Denied with servlets

In a Nutshell what I'm trying to accomplish is to update some data in a web
page by posting to a servlet and not reload the whole page. So I created an
<IFRAME> to do the dirty work. I am using javascript/dom to copy data from
the <IFRAME> to the parent.
This works fine when the URLs are for example...
parent page = http://localhost:8080/somepath/somepage.html.
iframe page = http://localhost:8080/somepath/someIframe.html.
I understand that there is a security restriction(IE 5 and up) crossing
domains, and this is where some of my comfusion is coming into play.
When I change the URLs to the my dns address and iframe points to a
servlet.....
parent page = http://samw:8080/somepath/somepage.html.
iframe page = http://samw:8080/somepath/someIframeServlet
I get an "Access is Denied" error message as I believe the browser thinks
that the domains are not the same. Not sure though.
Are there any work arounds to this problem?
Requirements are IE 5.5 and up, Tomcat as the Servlet Engine, and only the part of the page displaying the data collected gets refreshed.
Thanks,
Sam

This is a security feature of the browser's scripting engine - you cannot access the DOM of a window/frame on a different domain, regardless of whether or not the actual server serving up your page is the same serving up the other. The only recourse is to make sure you use the same domain in the urls for frame sources.
Hope this helps,
-Scott
