Cross-Browser Testing for WebSockets

The traditional way to test for websockets is this: [sourcecode] function WebSocketTest() { if (“WebSocket” in window) { alert(“Browser supports websocket”); } else { alert(“Browser does not support websocket”); } } … Run WebSocket test [/sourcecode] Although the above example will be technically correct for modern browsers it is important to consider some of the “experimental” implementation of this feature in earlier FireFox (Mozilla) browsers.
