funny -- I read it "now" the first time.... This certainly brings up a good
issue. These alerts are based on known/presumed functionality issues, not
actual capabilities. There's nothing to do, probably with all those old
sites, but we should probably think harder about our strategy on that. I'm
not remembering why we did that -- for the PC side, it is very simple:
if (os == "win") {
isBrowserCompliant = hasGetElementById;
}
That's ubiquitous. But for the Mac side, it's pretty crazy. Here's the
logic:
else if (os == "mac") { // mac is the problem child :-(
if (browser == "mozilla" && browserVersion >= 5) {
// miguel 2004 11 17
// checking the plugins array does not work because
// Netscape 7.2 OS X still has Java 1.3.1 listed even though
// javaplugin.sf.net is installed to upgrade to 1.4.2
eval("try {var v = java.lang.System.getProperty('java.version');" +
" _jmol.isBrowserCompliant = v >= '1.4.2';" +
" } catch (e) { }");
} else if (browser == "opera" && browserVersion <= 7.54) {
isBrowserCompliant = false;
} else {
isBrowserCompliant = hasGetElementById &&
!((browser == "msie") ||
(browser == "webkit" && browserVersion < 125.12));
}
} else if (os == "linux" || os == "unix") {
if (browser == "konqueror" && browserVersion <= 3.3)
isBrowserCompliant = false;
else
isBrowserCompliant = hasGetElementById;
} else { // other OS
isBrowserCompliant = hasGetElementById;
}
Andreas, what's the rest of that message?
msg = "Your web browser is not fully compatible with Jmol\n\n" +
"browser: " + browser +
" version: " + browserVersion +
" os: " + os +
" isBrowserCompliant: " + isBrowserCompliant +
" isJavaCompliant: " + isJavaCompliant +
"\n\n" + ua;
That will tell us what's coming up short.
