Can I parse Tracking codes on the front end?

[Dan Acuff]

I have a value from the backend: #{_orderShipment.trackingNumber}
On the front end I am using JSF/SEAM/RichFaces etc.. But I was thinking there might be a way to test for FEDEX tags, UPS, USPS etc and send them to the correct page from there.

Is this just as easy on the front end or should I try and make something on the backend where my skills are NEWER :)
