Abstract

Disclosed is a system for generating code into a template, such as a HyperText Markup Language (HTML) template. A server receives a request for information from a browser program, such as an HTML browser, over a network such as the Internet. The browser program provides browser identification information to the server with the information request. In response to the information request, the server processes a template, wherein the template includes a conditional command having two parameters. A first parameter indicates the browser identification information and a second parameter represents a browser feature. The server processes the conditional command to determine whether the browser program represented by the first parameter supports the browser feature represented by the second parameter. Upon determining that the browser program represented by the first parameter supports the browser feature represented by the second parameter, the server generates the lines of code into the template.
