Detecting Internet Explorer and Netscape

[Jayson]

Is there a way to code in ASP to detect whether the user is using internet explorer or netscape?

Thanks!

Yes. You can use Request.ServerVariables collection to get the browser type:

browserType = Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_USER_AGENT&quot

You can also use:

browserType = Server.CreateObject("MSWC.BrowserType"
browser = browserType.browser;
version = browserType.version;
majorver = browserType.majorver;
minorver = browserType.minorver;
vbscript = browserType.vbscript;
etc...

You have to modify this stuff a little bit if you are using VBScript (no semicolons).
Hope the answer is helpful

Thanks i really appreciate it!

I guess what i'm trying to do is include a certain ASP file if its a netscape browser, and use another ASP file if its internet explorer browser. Is it possible to squeeze
<!-- #include whateverfile.asp --> inside an IF statement?

Thanks for your patients!
