browsersniffing (browser-sniffing)


Definition from Webdesign 101:
(Endnu en gang et eksempel indenfor IT verden af et engelsk udtryk, der bliver anvendt uden oversættelse på dansk.)

Browser(-)sniffing er en måde at håndtere flere forskellige browsere når der anvendes kode til en webside, der kan fortolkes forskelligt alt afhængigt af hvilken browser, der anvendes til at se websiden med.

Example sentence(s):
  • Browsersnifferens allerførste test er et meget godt eksempel på, hvorledes en sådan kan anvendes til omdirigering. - Webdesign 101  
  • Et CSS hack er en speciel kode, som en given browser enten skal læse eller ikke læse. Det har intet med browser-sniffing at gøre – tværtimod: man udnytter nemlig, at browseren misfortolker en kode i et stylesheet, og serverer derfor en kode, som passer til deres browser. - Owix.dk  
  • Den traditionelle browser-sniffing testede for fabrikat og version. De besøgende blev dirrigeret ad forskellige veje ud fra hvad deres browser på papiret var i stand til. - klapmusen.dk
