Determine browser type

Scriptcase 7 Discussion
#1

SC is already looking up the browser type to determine how to display the menu.

Is there a way to retrieve that browser-type, besides writing a huge chunk of code and downloading a 10MB browser-cap data file?

I only need a complement to sc_menu_force_mobile() that returns browser is or isn’t mobile so I can switch between mouse and multi-touch on a small JS application.

I know how to write the Big Chunk O Code, but that would be reinventing a very expensive wheel that SC already built and ran before my code ever starts…

I used Dojo’s has() and sniff() tests to determine if the remote browser has multi-touch capability.

That does exactly what I need, exactly where I need that answer, but maybe someone who isn’t using Dojo will benefit from a ScriptCase answer.
