Resource Page Description
Optional add-on for Silverlight.js. Adds Silverlight.supportedUserAgent function which determines if the user's browser is supported by Silverlight.

This functionality is not included in the Silverlight.js file because supportedUserAgent is highly dependant on current Web browser implementations. Because browsers evolve very quickly, this function will need to be updated much more frequently then the Silverlight.js file. If you need the functionality of Silverlight.supportedUserAgent then please check back often for updates to this file.

Current Release: 2.0.40211.0

This release is compatible with Silverlight 1.0, 2 and 3.

alert('Silverlight 1.0 supports this browser: ' + Silverlight.supportedUserAgent('1.0', null));
alert('Silverlight 2.0 supports this browser: ' + Silverlight.supportedUserAgent('2.0', null));

NEW POST: Adding additional browsers to the javascript

Duncanma — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 04:12:48 GMT

On our site http://channel9.msdn.com we started using this script as part of deploying a new Silverlight 2 video player and found that we had to add some additional browsers to the script to avoid blocking users that were perfectly capable of using our player.

In particular we wanted to make sure we treated Minefield as == to Firefox (Minefield being a nightly build of Firefox and while it may be buggy, it is essentially equivalent to Firefox) and also to make sure we didn't other browsers based on recent versions of Gecko (such as K-Meleon)

the modified portion of the script is below, with my changes marked by the ' // Added 11/17/2008 -- Duncanma' line.

if (slua.OS != 'Unsupported') {
if (ua.indexOf('MSIE') >= 0) {
if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf('Win64') == -1) {
if (parseInt(ua.split('MSIE')1) >= 6) {
slua.Browser = 'MSIE';
}
}
}
else if (ua.indexOf('Firefox') >= 0) {
var versionArr = ua.split('Firefox/')1.split('.');
var major = parseInt(versionArr0);
if (major >= 2) {
slua.Browser = 'Firefox';
}
else {
var minor = parseInt(versionArr1);
if ((major == 1) && (minor >= 5)) {
slua.Browser = 'Firefox';
}
}
}
else if (ua.indexOf('Safari') >= 0) {
slua.Browser = 'Safari';
}
// Added 11/17/2008 -- Duncanma
else if (ua.indexOf('Minefield') >= 0) {

var versionArr = ua.split('Minefield/')1.split('.');
var major = parseInt(versionArr0);
if (major >= 2) {
slua.Browser = 'Minefield';
}
else {
var minor = parseInt(versionArr1);
if ((major == 1) && (minor >= 5)) {
slua.Browser = 'Minefield';
}
}
}
else if (ua.indexOf('Gecko') >= 0) {
var dateString = ua.split('Gecko/')1.substring(0, 6);
var yearMonth = parseInt(dateString);

if (yearMonth > 200805)
slua.Browser = 'Gecko';

}
}
