i'm making a page with embedded video in it but instead of have people select the format they want i'd like it just to play automatically based on their browser/OS...i've seen things in people's signatures when i've browsed forums where it tells what browser and OS you're running, so i was thinking of using code like that to have the correct video format automatically play...can anyone share a helping link or some code? thanks,

navigator.userAgent.

navigator.browserVersion might give you more of what you want.

Uh, this is a really dumb question, but I don't know much about java script.

Does this "navigator" object you guys are talking about exist in IE and FireFox and, you know, browsers that aren't Netscape Navigator?
