Web/Wap design:: How do you make Javascript run on different browsers ??
by ndungu stephen 15 Nov '10

15 Nov '10

Hi fellow skunkers; I was looking at the "view-code" of the apple website "http://www.apple.com/" and i noted a JScript called "browser_detect.js" ;; Which I guess helps the site detect what sort of browser the client is using and serves the right content e.g " http://developer.garmin.com/web/communicator-api-0.5/jsdocs/overview-Browse… " However, the script shown seems to just detect the browser; so I guess there is more to be done for cross-browser support. My question is; how do you make code like this work across the common browsers (used as an example) : chrome, mozilla, internet explorer, opera mini etc The code below only seems to work fine with Internet explorer; the alert box pops up fine only on IE; but not chrome or mozilla (I just hope its not a Vista problem) =============== save as php or any relevant extension and serve from your Apache or any other program ============== <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Cross Browser alert</TITLE> <SCRIPT> M=false; N=false; app=navigator.appName.substring(0,1); if (app=='N') N=true; else M=true; function go() { if (M) alert(Pred.style.color); if (N) alert(document.ids['Pred'].color); } </SCRIPT> </HEAD> <BODY onload="go();"> <P ID="Pred" STYLE="color:red">This is Red</P> </BODY> </HTML> ==== *Question again:* Are there standard scripts like the "browser_detect.js" shown above that one can adapt to their web/wap site for cross-browser support (cos it seems each browser demands different methods to execute the JScripts successfully) ?? (yes, and I have googled, I dint come up with anythin substantial :) Any help or direction would be much appreciated. Thanks.

To the skunkvestors, Which softwares/tools do you use to track your investments at the NSE? Google leads me to Stockmarketeye<http://www.stockmarketeye.com/portfolio-tracker>but I am not sure if it integrates with NSE ATS. I seek to monitor, in real time, the movement of the various counters I have invested in.
