i write a javascript for checking borwser, but firefox is not working...
(netscape, opera & msie are working fine)
here my code:
if(navigator.appName.indexOf("Firefox")!=-1){
document.write("recognizing browser...<br>Firefox <font size=-2>",navigator.appVersion,"</font>, <b><font color=#00FF00>pass</font></b>.<br>");
}

The problem with this script is that navigator.appName on a Gecko-based product such as Firefox will return "Netscape", and navigator.appVersion will return "5.0".

Code: Select all

if(window.navigator.product) {
document.write(window.navigator.vendor + " " + window.navigator.vendorSub)
}
else {
document.write(navigator.appName + " " + navigator.appVersion)
}

This used to work on Mozilla-based products to return the proper product name, though it seems to be broken in recent releases.

Try using [tt]navigator.userAgent[/tt]

Code: Select all

if(navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Firefox")!=-1){
document.write("recognizing browser...<br>Firefox <font size=-2>",navigator.appVersion,"</font>, <b><font color=#00FF00>pass</font></b>.<br>");

Except that it will report Firefox 5.0 like that.
