Charles ... this is not only about JS level. One may simply click a link or submit a simple form (with NO JS involved) and lift should probably be aware of browser type it can correct some browser specific idiosyncrasies in the resulting markup. Certain applications may need for instance to detect if a mobile browser is used instead of a PC browser.
I don't think there is some other option then user-agent. But user- agent can be used today in lift but I agree that a higher abstraction is needed. P.S. At JS level, yeah object detection sounds really good. Br's, Marius On Sep 26, 12:25 pm, "Charles F.
