Title: How can I understand BROWSER TYPE?
Post by: ersin.gulbahar on 10 Jun 2013 03:45:04 AM
Hi everyone,
I want to make a render variable which depends on browser types.How can I understand browser type and make something for each browser?
Is there any function to understand it?

Thanks.

I am not aware of a built-in macro to get browser type. While something could probably be done to do this, what is it you are trying to accomplish? In my opinion, it is a really bad idea for many reasons to create reports that have browser dependencies. Among other things, over time it is likely to break with various browser and Cognos releases. There are other supported means for rendering the report on mobile devices, if that is your goal.
