[thelist] Re: Detection Between IE and NS 6./6.0

[Ben Gustafson]

Paul,

The User Agent string for NS 6.1 on a Mac is:
	
	(Macintosh; U; PPC; en-US; rv:0.9.2) Gecko/20010726 Netscape6/6.1

and on Win NT is:

	(Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:0.9.2) Gecko/20010726 Netscape6/6.1

therefore, 

	userAgent = Request.ServerVariables( "HTTP_USER_AGENT" )
	IF INSTR( userAgent, "Netscape6" ) > 0 THEN

should work for detecting Netscape 6x server side (at least for these
platoforms).

	Hi peeps,
	
	doing a site at the moment and i need to use ASP to detect for NS
6/6.0.
	
	Currently using this code for IE and NS (4.x) detection - but i now
need to
	be more specific as NS 4.x and NS 6.x are behaving differently on a
width.
	
	userAgent = Request.ServerVariables( "HTTP_USER_AGENT" )
	IF INSTR( userAgent, "MSIE" ) > 0 THEN
	IEWidth = ""
	Else
	NSWidth = ""
	End If
	
	Does anyone know how i can find out if it Ns 6.x and show a different
width?
	
	Cheers
	
	paul
