testing supported documents.

arivero · 07-13-2006, 01:18 PM

An amusing experiment could be to investigate what kind of document files are supported and how.

For instance, rename your .pdf document to .txt or .aaa. Does it still recognised it as a pdf file? If so, they are using the 'file' instruction from unix.

Try exotic files: PERL, php, sh, py and so on. Does it recognise some of these? Then you have scripts.

Try HTML files containing javascript. Does it work?

Try different versions of .jpg .bmp .png .pgm and similar bitmap files, not only black/white

Does the following .html document show in an iRex?

Code:

<html>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
var browser=navigator.appName
var b_version=navigator.appVersion
var version=parseFloat(b_version)
document.write("Browser name: "+ browser)
document.write("<br />")
document.write("Browser version: "+ version)
</script>
</body>
</html>

Or, this another?

And this one?

Yes, it does.

Browser Name: Netscape
Browser Version: 5

I didn't test out the other ones yet, but it looks like at least some javascript works.

Yes, both sets of HTML worked fine.

Format is recognized with the suffix. Only configured suffixes are opened.
