Is there an easy way to know what browser and version the user of a session
is using?

Small correction: make that "The Fast Lane on the HTTP".

Hi Lukas,

Similarly, do you have a trick for getting the screen dimensions,  
before showing the first page?

Only through a redirect using JavaScript. The screen resolution is not
available in the HTTP header.

renderContentOn: html
        x isNil ifTrue: [
                x := 0. y := 0.
                html script: 'window.location.href="' , html context actionUrl asString ,
                        '&' , (html callbacks registerCallback: [ :v | x := v asNumber]) ,
                        '=" + screen.width + "' ,
                        '&' , (html callbacks registerCallback: [ :v | y := v asNumber]) ,
                        '=" + screen.height' ].
        html render: x; text: ' x '; render: y

Hi Carl,

        do you use Firebug? You can take look at the window object of the
DOM. It has a property named 'navigator' where you could take all those
details. If you need to know that at server side, I think you can use a
request to pass the values to seaside.

        cheers,

Sebastian Sastre

Cool! Thanks.
Isn't it worth an api?

I would prefer not to have any JavaScript API in the core of Seaside.
Depending on what JavaScript libraries you use this can really mess up
everything.

That's true but I see that today we have the beginning of a long run
compromise with Prototype so..

How about changing "Out of Beta since 2002" to "Making Web Development Easier Since 2002"?

I find the word “heretic” in “The heretic web framework” a bit off-putting. The word has a bad connotation. Better alternatives would be “iconoclast” or “renegade”.

Similarly, the word “elitist” in “The elitist web framework with the ironic slogans” is kinda snobbish and pretentious. Might I suggest the word “avant-garde” or “transcendent”?

Regards,
Richard

The more I think about it, the more I believe "The Fast Lane to HTTP" is the
*best* slogan of the bunch...

I don't think the connotations are that bad, unless you're catholic.
According to the OED, heresy is "an opinion or doctrine ... at
variance with those generally accepted as authoritative."  Which
describes Seaside perfectly.

There's already a fair amount of branding around Seaside as "the
heretical web framework" because of talks I've given at O'Reilly
conferences.  So, now that I think of it, having a slogan around
heresy seems like a great idea.  Anyone have any ideas?

A bunch of former Ruby programmers talking about how great seaside is  
followed with a one-word slogan?

Apostasize!

Well, if branding based on this word is already well-known, then I guess
it's okay. I'm not Catholic (I'm agnostic), but "heretic" always conjures up
images of the authorities stoning you or beating you into submission.  :-)

I think that describes the treatment of Seaside developers well :-)

Yeah, that's about right. REST-geeks really don't like Seaside.

A published book on Seaside and Smalltalk would be fantastic.
