Browser Neutral Upload - Using Client-Side Controls

In some case, you need to supply different client-side components based on browser dependencies. By using ASP's BrowserType server Object, you can implement both types of client side components, Java Applets or Active-X Controls.

Example:

	<%
	'--- Create an instance of the Standard IIS Server Component.
	'--- This component uses the Browsercap.ini to obtain browser capabilities.
	Set Browse = Server.CreateObject("MSWC.BrowserType")

	'--- If the browser supports Active-X Controls, SA-XFile is used.
	If Browse.ActiveXControls Then

		' SA-Xfile Code		

	'--- If the browser does not support ActiveX Controls, SA-JFile is used.
	Else 
		'SA-JFile Code

	End IF 
	%>

This can also be applied to downloading. Check out the samples provided as part of the SA-FileUp distribution. See Programmer's Samples for a list of the contents of the Samples directory.
