20665 2013-01-14 18:57:25 +0000 Should define navigator.product for web compatibility 2013-03-18 02:32:55 +0000 1 1 1 Unclassified HTML WG HTML5 spec unspecified PC Windows NT RESOLVED FIXED P2 normal --- 20666 1 travil silviapfeiffer1 eoconnor ian mathias mike mounir public-html-admin public-html-wg-issue-tracking public-html-bugzilla oldest_to_newest 81348 0 travil 2013-01-14 18:57:25 +0000 As we continue to improve IE's engine such that it runs more of the non-IE based web, we've seen that it is now necessary to support the navigator.product attribute. It should simply return "Gecko". This behavior is already present in Chrome and Firefox, and IE will be adding it soon. Consider this for HTML5 as well to codify this behavior for interoperability and actual site compatibility. 81368 1 ian 2013-01-15 00:15:19 +0000 The spec has the following attributes commented out: <!-- appMinorVersion: IE only. In IE8b1, returns " Beta" (with the space) --> <!-- buildID: Mozilla only --> <!-- oscpu: Mozilla only --> <!-- product: Mozilla and Safari only; always returns "Gecko" --> <!-- productSub: Mozilla and Safari only; returns same as buildID in Mozilla, and returns the fixed string "20030107" in Safari --> <!-- securityPolicy: Mozilla only; always returns "" --> <!-- taintEnabled(): Opera, IE and Mozilla have this function as one that always returns false --> <!-- vendor: Mozilla and Safari only; always returns "" in Mozilla, and returns the fixed string "Apple Computer, Inc." in Safari --> <!-- vendorSub: Mozilla and Safari only; always returns "" --> Is "product" the only one you want added? 81418 2 travil 2013-01-15 18:48:32 +0000 product is the only one we need to add for web compat. I can't guarantee that this will be the last one, but it's the only one that's cropped up as blocking significant sites so far. 84261 3 eoconnor 2013-03-11 18:01:10 +0000 Silvia, This was fixed in WHATWG r7747. 84545 4 silviapfeiffer1 2013-03-18 02:32:55 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.
