Thats what I am doing, the logging works fine, its the "analyse later" part
I am having difficulty with :)
In the code I mentioned before, the #browser# variable equals the
#cgi.http_user_agent# string.
I am trying to output the results into meaningful groups and class browsers
broadly based on type and version number, without going into too much
detail. I have got the major browsers done, and I guess I can just keep
adding to my <cfif> code each time a new browser type pops up.. at the
moment, the less known browsers get grouped into an "Other" category, which
may do for now.
Thanks for your help,
