Well, I thought of that, but it doesn't get me the services offered. I was hoping for a method that could give be booleans for something like:
<!--#if client_javascript--> <h1><blink>Aren't You Glad Netscape's Rhino is Enabled!!!</blink></h1> <!--#/if-->
This would require the maintenance of a supports database, like Roxen. Roxen lets you do things like: <if supports javascript> blah... or something like that. Idonex maintains a support database of browser features. This is an interesting feature, but we probably won't get to it due to time resources. If anyone wants to volunteer however, go for it. It's open source! -Michel

To expand on what I think Michel means, Idonex is the company behind the GPLed server Roxen Challenger. The 'supports' database is part of that code, so it is also available via GPL. However, now that I've said that, I realize Zope is _not_ GPL, and GPL code is notorious for clashing with other licenses (please, let's not have the whole license flamefest here!) However, the Roxen supports db is in a flatfile, available from the url: http://www.roxen.com/supports This file has a handy description of its syntax in comments at the top. If someone wrote some python to parse this file... Ross -- Ross J.
