Description

The problem with putting a line on the bottom of the page that says that Safari 1.2.4 is not supported is, that people are probably not looking at it. Instead it might be good to use JavaScript? to test the browser version and insert HTML that explains the situation in huge capital letters in a red-box, that the browser is not supported. I do not know if it is possible to use JavaScript? to determine the Safari version (Google for it), but once it can be reliably determined inserting this message is really easy. Just use document.write and Google.

  • severity changed from normal to minor.

We currently support all the current versions of the major web browsers being used. It is good to have but not a priority.

  • milestone changed from 1.0 Release to WishList.

I deployed the browser detection facility from http://www.dithered.com/javascript/browser_detect/, however, it does not provide the actual version numbers of the browsers and in particular I have no idea what it provides when used with the Safari browser. Nevertheless, the facility can be easily used as described on the website throughout all JavaScript? files and in the page to embed eventual notification messages.
