I am a new user of Javascript. I am trying to use the script for browser langauge detection. I would like the browser to detect whether the user is English or French, How can I make the changes in the following script to do that? If you have a suggestions for another script that would be aprecaited too.

//*************** GLOBALS VARS *****************

//******************* BEHAVIOR FUNCTION **********************

// NSJ - 0,1,2: where to go if Netscape 2.0 or above Japanese
// NSnoJ - 0,1,2: where to go it NOT Netscape 2.0 or above Japanese
// IEJ - 0,1,2: where to go if IE 4.0 or above Japanese
// IEnoJ - 0,1,2: where to go if NOT IE 4.0 or above Japanese
// OTHER - 0,1,2: where to go if other browser
// eURL - English URL, often a filename, URL encoded. (ex: file.htm,

http://www.x.com/y.htm)

// jURL - Japanese URL, often a filename, URL encoded. (ex: file.htm,

http://www.x.com/y.htm)

function checkLanguage(NSJ,NSnoJ,IEJ,IEnoJ,OTHER,eURL,jURL) {
//default to English
var newURL = eURL;
var version = parseFloat(navigator.appVersion);

//first check for Netscape 2.0 or up
if ((navigator.appName.indexOf('Netscape') != -1) && (version >= 2.0)) {

//check for Japanese
if (navigator.appVersion.indexOf('ja') != -1) {

newURL=jURL;
}

//check for IE 4.0 or up
} else if ((navigator.appName.indexOf('Microsoft') != -1) && (version >=4.0)) {

//check for Japanese
if (navigator.browserLanguage.indexOf('ja') != -1) {

newURL=jURL;
}
}
//make it so
if (newURL) {
window.location = unescape(newURL);
document.returnValue = false;
}
}

Try changing the 'ja' to 'fr' . & then testing. don't know if the fr is the right one for french but worth a quick shot to test. Jessica
