I'm trying to add DOM based version detection of Konqueror to my site and would be happy to share how I detect all the other browsers with other people. It's the correct way to determine a browser engine/version in contrast to looking at the user agent which can easily be spoofed.

I'm also curious as to what the future plans are for Konqueror? Will the KHTML rendering engine only receive bug fixes or will more features be added?

To view my site's current DOM browser detection capability view the JavaScript at the following URL: jabcreations.com/scripts/init.js

To expand on this all I need is for a single page load from anyone who has a copy of Konqueror willing to load a page at my site at http://www.jabcreations.com/ and with the more DOM methods and property lists that I can collect (it's automated in the background) the better I can refine the version detection.

Thanks to people who went to my site and let it detect the various methods and properties. I'm still looking for more instances of Konqueror and only require a single page load to collect the information necessary for me to build DOM based detection of different versions of Konqueror.

Here are the updates to what I've determined so far that I can share with everyone...

1.) The item method seems to have been removed in item removed in Konqueror/4.6.0 from Konqueror/4.5.3. There were no other added/removed methods or properties associated with 4.5 or 4.6 version user agents at this time; this may end up being a reliable way to detect version 4.5 versus version 4.6.

2.) Someone visited using Konqueror/4.6.41 which my site incorrectly detected as Safari 5.0. That implies either the user agent was spoofed or the WebkitAnimationFillMode was added to KHTML at that version or somewhat earlier.

I updated the scripting to record the method and property lists if the string 'Konqueror' is found in the user agent. Except for this instance I would never bother with the navigator.userAgent property though it's relevant if I want to make sure newer versions don't detect as different browsers as it did with Konqueror/4.6.41.

Here is are the method and property lists for Konqueror/4.6.0 which is the latest version of Konqueror I've been able to reliably detect so far...

For those who are curious how to easily determine the differences between lists of previous versions to lists of newer versions I use WinMerge. Yes, I'm still using XP at the moment though plan to migrate to Linux eventually once I find the distro most conductive to production.

For those looking for cross-platform file comparison software who are also interested in what I'm doing here is a list I found on Wiki: DiffMerge, Eclipse Compare, Ediff, Ellié Computing Merge, Guiffy SureMerge, IntelliJ IDEA Compare, jEdit JDiff plugin, KDiff3, Kompare, Lazarus Diff, Meld, Perforce P4Merge, Pretty Diff, Tkdiff and there are some more...I think those are all freeware.

A couple of links for those curious about the DOM....

DOM Explorer II - You can visually explore the DOM in any browser. Note that my site's global JavaScript variables and functions will show up though there are options to toggle the various types.
http://www.jabcreations.com/web/javascr ... explorer-2

This link shows the lists detected for each browser including Konqueror.

I still need more information to detect various versions of Konqueror and I'll share the information as more lists of methods and properties become available for me to compare. Thanks for the help so far!

visiting this guys site will Totally trash you Firefox (Nightly 24), pulseaudio, kwin etc on openSuSE Linux and KDE 4.10.2.
It's not permenent, but you'll have to Ctrl+W 'his tab' as the right side of the tab is 'removed' and you wont be able to 'x' out.

Hi, I'm this guy and I pay attention to when people reply to threads I participate in. What exactly went wrong? It would have been better to simply send me a private message. Also keep in mind you're using a nightly build, that's the absolute cutting edge and they're not intended for everyday use.
