DTC support in IE 6/Netscape 6
Posted: 12 Nov 02

Most DTC's check the global page-object value thisPage.isDHTMLBrowser() to see if the users' browser supports DHTML.
This function is defined in _ScriptLibrary/PM.ASP.
Unfortunately, it was set-up before IE 6 and Netscape 6 - so these are seen as NON-DHTML browsers!
You need to adjust the script in PM.ASP to provide the required browser support:
function _SOM_isDHTMLBrowser() { if (typeof(this._isDHTMLBrowser) == 'undefined') { this._isDHTMLBrowser = false; var userAgent = String(Request.ServerVariables('HTTP_USER_AGENT')); if (userAgent.indexOf('MSIE 4.') != -1 || userAgent.indexOf('MSIE 5.') != -1 || userAgent.indexOf('MSIE 6.') != -1 || userAgent.indexOf('Mozilla/5') != -1 ) this._isDHTMLBrowser = true; } return this._isDHTMLBrowser; }
Of course, you could replace this with more advanced techniques to determine the browser capabilities (e.g. browcap.dll).
Or you could reverse the logic - and assume DHTML unless it is Netscape 4 or IE 3 or less. |
