hi everyone 1. netscape's and microsoft's HTTP_USER_AGENT strings can be identified easily, but how do i extract the version of the browsers? 2. could you do me a favour and tell me what browser you're using and what string HTTP_USER_AGENT it outputs? maybe we can compile a list (if it's usefull).

you could use JavaScript to get informnations about the browser <script language="JavaScript"> function get_browser() {

        nameofBrowser=navigator.appName;
        codeName=navigator.appCodeName;
        Bversion=navigator.appVersion;
        Blanguage=navigator.lanuage;
        OS_Browser=navigator.platform;
        B_http_name=navigator.userAgent;

} </script> ... <a href="next_page"?browsertype='win.document.write(nameofBrowser+codeName....)'> go ahead</a> Oliver
