[Laszlo-dev] Browser detection out of an OL app

[Raju Bitter]

I tried to debug lz.embed.browser, and the object doesn't exist. On  
the other hand drawview uses exactly that approach:
 > if (lz.embed.browser.isIE) { // IE can take a while to start up.  
this._hidden = false;

Finally I realized that lz.embed.browser can of course be accessed  
from the DHTML runtime, but it's not available in SWFx. Is that an  
undocumented "feature"?
