Selecting HTML5 when required

Post by stevejarvis » Tue May 21, 2013 11:41 am

Is there any simple way to detect when the user is connecting from a browser that needs to use HTML5?

I would like to use Javascript and ActiveX for users that connect from a PC (so that the system can access their local drives for uploading files, etc.) but HTML5 for users that connect from iPhone, iPad and Android. I don't want to leave the user to make the selection to make things as simple as possible for them.

I could use IIS and then write something in ASP.NET to do it, but that seems like a lot of work. I would rather stick with the TS Plus web server if possible. Is there a way to do this?

Hello,

What you can do is simply use a direct link to the HTML5 connection page. the html5 is located here : C:\Program Files (x86)\TSplus\Clients\www\software\html5.html

Hello,

The good way of doing this would be to integrate in the common.js file some JavaScript code to detect if the visitor is using an iPad/iPhone or a Desktop browser, by guessing from the User Agent. This could be done by checking the status of the Window.MB variable which holds the value for browser if they are mobile or not.

Ok, but your earlier suggestion to the HTML5 page does not work. It throws an error.
