Allow META REFRESH

[ars]

Hi all,

Is there any way to check the "Allow META REFRESH" Property of the user web browser(IE).

"Allow META REFRESH" Property can be found under
Tools -> Internet Option -> Security Tab -> Custom level -> Miscellanous.

No, Servoy webclient is designed to work cross browser. The option you're referring to is browser specific.

Offcourse you could include custom code into a HTML area and hack your way around, but....

Why do you need it?

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the response.
In my application, i want to detect certain features of the client browser.

what kind of features do you want? And how do you want to read them?

Also what do you want to do with that meta refresh tag setting of IE? As far as i know in a default setting the meta refresh just works.

Hi Johan,

what kind of features do you want? And how do you want to read them?

Sorry, not features, i want detect some settings of the user browser such as
Active Scripting, Allow Meta Refresh, Script debugging etc.

Also what do you want to do with that meta refresh tag setting of IE? As far as i know in a default setting the meta refresh just works.

Yes, you are right. In default setting "Allow META REFRESH" is enabled. but when your browser is in the high security, then the "Allow META REFRESH" is disabled along with other properties.

and if that is the case then you can make sure that also most other stuff won't work. Because i think if meta refresh is killed also maybe javascript doesn't work (completely). And if that is the case then servoy solutions won't work and you won't be able to get the right information.

But again my question if you read them in the browser where do you parse them on the server? Do you have a special page in front of your solution?

What you can do is not use meta refresh but just javascripting:
href.location = x

but i think that is also most likely disabled in high security..

Hi Johan,

Yes, you are right in High security mode javascript is completely disabled.

But again my question if you read them in the browser where do you parse them on the server? Do you have a special page in front of your solution?

Yes, before going to the login page, it will check the browser settings of the surfer. According to the setting, it will suggest some information to the user to setup the browser settings.

do that completely in a html page.
So check if javascript is enabled and if it isn't explain then what to do in the html. Something like

if(!javascript)
{
document.write(xxx)
}
