The Common-Controls Tag Library

Creates a hidden field within the html page. The field will be filled with informations about the browser. The value within the request can be used to create an opbject of type BrowserInfo. Therefore the framework offers the following method BrowserInfo.setFromRequest().

// using default name
BrowserInfo.setFromRequest(request);

// or userdefined name "myinfo"
BrowserInfo.setFromRequest(request, "myinfo");

The BrowserInfo object can be used internally to check if Javascript is supported on the client side.
