Part of a javascript created in ASP:

   var g_BrowserName = '<%=HttpContext.Current.Request.Browser.Browser.ToUpper() %>';
   var g_BrowserMajorVersion = '<%=HttpContext.Current.Request.Browser.MajorVersion.ToString()%>';

Now I did a Google about how to work with java scripting before starting this thread, and came up with:

   var g_BrowserName = navigator.appName.toUpperCase();
   var g_BrowserMajorVersion = navigator.appVersion;

Only when I dump out the variables, the appVersion doesn't get me what I need. Plus, each browser reports it totally differently.

Safari:
NETSCAPE
5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; en) AppleWebKit/522.13.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.0.2 Safari/522.13.1


Internet Exploder 7:
MICROSOFT INTERNET EXPLORER
4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.2; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727)


FireFox 2:
NETSCAPE
5.0 (Windows; en-US)



So what do I do?

That would depend on what you're trying to accomplish. What's that Javascript ultimately doing in the grand scheme of things?

Wow - apparently not very much, or my search within files tool is lieing to me. I found two different references - one to the line I pointed out, and the other to:


if(typeof(g_BrowserName)!= "undefined" && typeof(g_BrowserMajorVersion) != "undefined")
{
if(g_BrowserName == "APPLEWEBKIT" && parseInt(g_BrowserMajorVersion) < 125)
{
eval(btn.onClick);
}
}

Here is this code just copy it and try it on your browser. I tried it on main and it works
This is the code:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript">
var an = navigator.appName;
var av = navigator.appVersion;
document.write("You are using <B>" +an+
"</B>, version " +av+ ".<BR>")
</SCRIPT>

This came out on the screen:

You are using Netscape, version 5.0 (Windows; de)


But don't forget this is an information for my browser

Seems to be looking for an old Apple browser of some sort. I'm just not sure what.

What's probably confusing you, in conjunction with that function, is this line here:

var g_BrowserMajorVersion = navigator.appVersion;
Change that to:

var g_BrowserMajorVersion = parseInt(navigator.appVersion);

You'll have a better idea of what's going on then.
