I just designed a browser sniffer that works in Internet Explorer and Netscape
Navigator, but when I tested it in Mozilla, it returned Netscape Navigator. Why
is this? Try using the following code in the Mozilla browser:
<html>
<head>
<title>Browser Sniffer</title>
</head>
<body>
<script>
function detectBrowser() {
// default in case not listed
var browser ="an unknown browser."
if (navigator.appName.match('Microsoft Internet Explorer')) { var browser =
"Internet Explorer" }
if (navigator.appName.match('Netscape')) { var browser = "Netscape Navigator" }
if (navigator.appName.match('Opera')) { var browser = "Opera" }
if (navigator.appName.match('Mozilla')) { var browser = "Mozilla" }
alert('You appear to be using '+browser+'.\n\nPlease note, that for reasons
unknown to me, Opera returns Internet Explorer and Mozilla returns Netscape
Navigator, so I cannot guarantee that the results of this are 100% accurate.') }
</script>
<a href="javascript:detectBrowser()">What browser am I using?</a>
</body>
</html>
Reproducible: Didn't try
Steps to Reproduce:
Expected Results:
It should have returned "Mozilla" instead of "Netscape Navigator".
