Detecting Internet Explorer and Netscape using ASP and CR Viewer

[Jayson]

Hi,

I'm currently using Crystal Reports 7 - SmartViewerJava to output my reports onto the web. But i notice that it is very slow. I want to use SmartViewerActiveX, but i read on the Seagate Website that, CR 7 SmarViewerJava, doesn't not support ActiveX, is there a way for me to code in ASP, in such a way that my website would detect whether the user is using Internet Explorer or Netscape? then use that information to output my crystal report using either SmartViewerActiveX or SmartViewerJava depending on the user's browser?

Thanks for any help!

Jayson: There is a way to do this - just can't find it at the moment. Suggest you post this as a more general question of how to detect the browser and post it in the Microsoft Active Server Pages forum David C. Monks

<%
set oClientBrowser = Server.CreateObject(&quot;MSWC.BrowserType&quot
if oClientBrowser.Browser= &quot;IE&quot; then
%>
<!-- #include file=&quot;SmartViewerActiveX.asp&quot; -->
<%
else
%>
<!-- #include file=&quot;SmartViewerJava.asp&quot; -->
<%
end if
%>

Hope this'll help.
