Re: 64bit and 32bit mode Safari detection in Javascript

Title: Re: 64bit and 32bit mode Safari detection in Javascript
We own the plugin. We will get a new version out as soon as is practically possible, however, until then, we’d like to tell people running Safari in 64bit mode that they can’t use it whilst not upsetting people running Safari in 32bit mode, in the same way we deal with people using 64bit IE as opposed to 32bit IE.

I’m suspecting, however, that it cannot be done!

Regards,

Scott

You should be trying to detect the plugins rather than the mode that Safari is running in.

As Safari is updated, and the plugins are updated, the list of plugins that run in 64-bit mode will change. This means that you have to have a different support list every time a plugin or Safari is updated.

Re: 64bit and 32bit mode Safari detection in _javascript_ Thanks for the help, but I think you’ve missed out reading the subject ;)
 
I need to detect this from _javascript_ if possible. Safari in 32bit mode supports different plugins compared to Safari in 64bit mode and I need to differentiate.
Internet explorer gives me “x64” in the appVersion if running a 64bit instance

Look in Activity Monitor — the "Kind" column says so. (You might have
to turn that column on via the View menu.)
