Examples: Browsecap.ini File Default Section

This example shows some of the entries for Internet Explorer (IE) 5.0. Since it has no parent line, the only properties it has (other than those defined in the default section) are those explicitly defined:

[IE 5.0]

browser=IE

Version=5.0

majorver=#5

minorver=#0

frames=TRUE

tables=TRUE

cookies=TRUE

vbscript=TRUE

javascript=TRUE

ActiveXControls=TRUE

In the following example, IE 5.0 is specified as the parent for the browser. The properties explicitly provided will replace, or add to, those values in the parent's definition:

[Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0)*]

parent=IE 5.0

platform=Windows 2000

version=5.0

minorver=01

[IE 5.0]

browser=IE

frames=TRUE

tables=TRUE

cookies=TRUE

backgroundsounds=TRUE

vbscript= TRUE

javascript= TRUE

. . .

To determine if a browser supports JavaScript, use the following code:

Set bc = Server.CreateObject("MSWC.BrowserType")

if bc.javascript = 0 then

   Response.Write "This browser does not support JavaScript."

else

   REM The browser supports JavaScript so simply continue.

end if

The following example determines if a browser supports tables:

Set bc = Server.CreateObject("MSWC.BrowserType")

if bc.tables = 0 then

   Response.Write "This browser does not support tables."

. . .

The following example uses the Browser Capabilities component to display a table showing some of the capabilities of the current browser:

<% Set bc = Server.CreateObject("MSWC.BrowserType") %>

<table border=1>

<tr><td>Browser</td><td> <%= bc.browser %>

<tr><td>Version</td><td> <%= bc.version %> </td></tr>

<tr><td>Frames</td><td>

<% if (bc.frames = TRUE) then %> TRUE

<% else %> FALSE

<% end if %> </td></tr>

<tr><td>Tables</td><td>

<% if (bc.tables = TRUE) then %> TRUE

<% else %> FALSE

<% end if %> </td></tr>

<tr><td>BackgroundSounds</td><td>

<% if (bc.BackgroundSounds = TRUE) then %> TRUE

<% else %> FALSE

<% end if %> </td></tr>

<tr><td>VBScript</td><td>

<% if (bc.vbscript = TRUE) then %> TRUE

<% else %> FALSE

<% end if %> </td></tr>

<tr><td>JavaScript</td><td>

<% if (bc.javascript = TRUE) then %> TRUE

<% else %> FALSE

<% end if %> </td></tr>
