    <p>I'm making a kind of Browser Detection library (I know user agent sniffing isn't ideal). I found a pretty useful snippet on quirksmode.org that looked something like this:</p> <pre><code>var $browser = { init: function () { this.name = this.searchString(this.dataName) || "An unknown browser"; this.version = this.searchVersion(navigator.userAgent) || this.searchVersion(navigator.appVersion) || "an unknown version"; }, searchString: function (data) { for (var i=0;i&lt;data.length;i++) { var dataString = data[i].string; var dataProp = data[i].prop; this.versionSearchString = data[i].versionSearch || data[i].identity; if (dataString) { if (dataString.indexOf(data[i].subString) != -1) return data[i].identity; } else if (dataProp) { return data[i].identity; } } }, searchVersion: function (dataString) { var index = dataString.indexOf(this.versionSearchString); if (index == -1) return; return parseFloat(dataString.substring(index+this.versionSearchString.length+1)); }, dataName: [ { string: navigator.userAgent, subString: "Chrome", identity: "Chrome" }, { string: navigator.userAgent, subString: "OmniWeb", versionSearch: "OmniWeb/", identity: "OmniWeb" }, { string: navigator.vendor, subString: "Apple", identity: "Safari", versionSearch: "Version" }, { prop: window.opera, identity: "Opera", versionSearch: "Version" }, { string: navigator.vendor, subString: "iCab", identity: "iCab" }, { string: navigator.vendor, subString: "KDE", identity: "Konqueror" }, { string: navigator.userAgent, subString: "Firefox", identity: "Firefox" }, { string: navigator.vendor, subString: "Camino", identity: "Camino" }, { // for newer Netscapes (6+) string: navigator.userAgent, subString: "Netscape", identity: "Netscape" }, { string: navigator.userAgent, subString: "MSIE", identity: "Internet Explorer", versionSearch: "MSIE" }, { // for older Netscapes (4-) string: navigator.userAgent, subString: "Mozilla", identity: "Netscape", versionSearch: "Mozilla" } ] }; $browser.init(); </code></pre> <p>So now I can do something like</p> <pre><code>alert($browser.name + $browser.version); </code></pre> <p>But I also want to be able to do $browser.author, $browser.prefix and $browser.engine. Anyone know how I could do this? I know I could do </p> <pre><code> if($browser.name == "Chrome"){ var engine = "WebKit" } </code></pre> <p>But I don't want just "engine", I want "$browser.engine"</p> <p><b><h2>EDIT</h2></b> Ok, look guys, as I said before <strong>I know user agent sniffing isn't ideal</strong>. And I'm not basing my entire project on this. This is just a short little module on a bigger JS file. This is just a handy $browser module. I know feature detection is <b>way</b> better than ua sniffing, and I use modernizr way more than I do jQuery browser object, or Dojo "has". In fact I never use those. And I know that stackoverflow typically isn't a tutoring website (well, isn't a tutoring website rather), but I was kinda hoping just to find out a quick little way to add extra information in each object manually. I've tried many ways and kept getting errors or fails. </p>

    1. COYou should never even consider browser sniffing, you should always detect features.

    2. COWhy? What do you hope to achieve with browser detection? If that is from the code base I _think_ it is, there should be a warning on the page saying **never do this.**

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
