[Zope] Test for browser version using dtml-if? Thanks

[Michael]

Thanks AM and Tim.  Once I start converting all of the dtml scripts over to 
Python this will come in handy.  What I found was an old how-to from about a 
year and a half ago from jooi, that once modified, works fine on the fly.  In 
case there is anyone else interested in a dtml method of testing for browser 
types, here it is.

<dtml-if "_.string.find(HTTP_USER_AGENT, 'MSIE') >0">
Do something that works in Windows
<dtml-elif "HTTP_USER_AGENT[:9] >= ('Mozilla/4')">
Do something that works with Moz compatibles
<dtml-else>
Nothing works
</dtml-if>

Once I figure out how to filter out and test for Konqueror (in which nothing 
seems to work) from the Moz compatibles, I'll post that too.

Thanks again,

Michael
