Content type check

[c3f8]

Hi!!

Is there anyway of getting page content-type in client-side using javascript?

thanks

I don't think this possible using Javascript. I've certainly never seen it done - and looking in the navigator object (where it might have been) shows nothing.

Cheers,
Jeff

Make sure your web page and css validates properly against the doctype you have chosen - before you attempt to debug a problem!

I've been thinking about this a little more over the weekend...

You could get the headers of an AJAX request using getResponseHeader("content-type") on the XHRequest object. Note this will not work with the file:// prototcol (so do it against a proper web server). So you could file off a simple XHR using javascript - and interrogate the headers that way.

Just a thought!
