Re: OS / Browser tag?
There's talk about doing something with a "os/browser bean" that would handle the detection, and then you could use a tag to expose that information in the page if needed. In any event, this functionality is not directly related to the framework resources, and so would be best provided by a generic extension developed somewhere like Jakarta Taglibs. Now that places like Jakarta Taglibs is running full steam, and the standard taglibs are on the horizon, it is unlikely that any new functionality will be added to the Struts logic tags. -- Ted Husted, Husted dot Com, Fairport NY USA. -- Custom Software ~ Technical Services. -- Tel +1 716 737-3463 -- http://www.husted.com/about/struts/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Hi Jay, > > Yeah, coming down to having two tags.

RE: OS / Browser tag?
I have not looked at the Present Tag code or the design. However, I think if it is designed to be flexible, present tag can be used to check the browser and the os. One way is to expand the "Scope" values. One more scope value can be added as "System" where the present tag will "search" for values regarding system.

Hi Jay, Yeah, coming down to having two tags. Would be great to add them to logic:present tag, but not sure it would work - seems to me there is a fundamental difference in that logic:present is checking for values in the request. What do others think? Dave PS Cross posting to dev list too.

I like the idea for the OS and Browser check. However I would suggest that the checks be made separately and not within one tag. How about if we can modify the logic:present to have two more parameters? ( that can also go for notPresent ). E.g. Above approach will result in less of a learning curve and fewer tags.

RE: OS / Browser tag?
I like the idea for the OS and Browser check. However I would suggest that the checks be made separately and not within one tag. How about if we can modify the logic:present to have two more parameters? ( that can also go for notPresent ). E.g. Above approach will result in less of a learning curve and fewer tags.

Re: OS / Browser tag?
I've seen it come up in Jakarta Taglibs, but don't know the status.
