Parser version

[JSMITH242B]

Hi Group,
How can I check the version of XML Parser installed on a users machine (preferably without writing code).

Kind Regards

Apparently MSXML doesn't expose version information to the browser. Found this on the net:

function getControlPrefix() {
    if (getControlPrefix.prefix)
       return getControlPrefix.prefix;

    var prefixes = ["MSXML2", "Microsoft", "MSXML", "MSXML3"];
    var o, o2;
    for (var i = 0; i < prefixes.length; i++) {
       try {
          // try to create the objects
          o = new ActiveXObject(prefixes[i] + ".XmlHttp");
          o2 = new ActiveXObject(prefixes[i] + ".XmlDom");
          return getControlPrefix.prefix = prefixes[i];
       }
       catch (ex) {};
    }

    throw new Error("Could not find an installed XML parser");
}

Does that help?
