Check Browser Type

[Anon]

I am trying to add code to my HTML page so it will return one thing if user has Internet Explorer and another thing with Netscape.

I am also trying to create a scrolling marquee that will work in Netscape, and I can't seem to do it.

Any suggestions.

You would need a client side browser detector for the browser type. There are many done in JS on the net.

As far as a scrolling marquee, once again, it would be client side in either JS or a Java Applet.

Browser check:

if((ereg("Nav", getenv("HTTP_USER_AGENT"))) || (ereg("Gold", getenv("HTTP_USER_AGENT"))) || (ereg("X11", getenv("HTTP_USER_AGENT"))) || (ereg("Mozilla", getenv("HTTP_USER_AGENT"))) || (ereg("Netscape", getenv("HTTP_USER_AGENT"))) AND (!ereg("MSIE", getenv("HTTP_USER_AGENT")))) $browser = "ns";
elseif(ereg("MSIE", getenv("HTTP_USER_AGENT"))) $browser = "ie";
else $browser = "Other";

if ($browser == "ie") [ do something }
if ($browser == "ns" { do something else }

not sure about the marquee in netscape, will look into it but do a search on google for it.

is HTTP_USER_AGENT reliable ?
