AOL Browser

[ADLawley]

Hi,
is there anyway, using JS that i can ask if the browser is AOL? I've used to normal check if its NS or IE but was wondering if its possible for AOL too?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
AD

Yup. Just look for an instance of AOL within the agent string:

<script>
<!--
onload = getBrowser;

function getBrowser() {
	agent = navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase();
		if (agent.indexOf(&quot;aol&quot;) != -1) {
			alert(&quot;Using AOL&quot;);
		}
}
//-->
</script>
