Since it seems you have to set the calendar text box/icon position absolutely, does anyone know how you can detect the user's browser and then set the calendar position accordingly?

DevStudio: 7.1.4
Server Environment: Win2K3 Server
WebFOCUS 7.13
Apache Tomcat standalone application server

That information would be greatly appreciated by me also, but need to know the affects if some use IE and some use FIREFOX.

Right now for FIREFOX calendar entry, I just play games with the parms in IE so the values using calendar are at the top.

Thanks.

go to www.javascriptkit.com and search for browser detect.

If you need to detect the web browser from within a WebFOCUS fex, you can add the HTTP_USER_AGENT HTTP Header Variable to the variables that are passed from site.wfs. This will make available a Dialogue Manager variable called &HTTP_USER_AGENT.

Here's some documentation on that: HTTP Header Variables Available for Script Processing

In my environmnet, I get this:
Firefox: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.9) G
IE: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET

So, to detect if IE is used you could code this:

-SET &BROWSER = IF &HTTP_USER_AGENT CONTAINS 'MSIE' THEN 'MSIE' ELSE 'FIERFOX';

I don't know what the other web browsers would provide.
