Thanks SJ, unfortunately i work with a bunch of idiots and they wouldn't have a clue what this meant.

Quote:

Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)

Do you know of a way to make it display it something like "You have Internet explorer 5.5" and so on?

Andy,

Stolen earlier:

edited to add: stick this between <body> ---- </body>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

var useragent = navigator.userAgent;
var bName = (useragent.indexOf('Opera') > -1) ? 'Opera' : navigator.appName;
var pos = useragent.indexOf('MSIE');

if (pos > -1)
{
bVer = useragent.substring(pos + 5);
var pos = bVer.indexOf(';');
var bVer = bVer.substring(0,pos);
}

var pos = useragent.indexOf('Opera');

if (pos > -1)
{
bVer = useragent.substring(pos + 6);
var pos = bVer.indexOf(' ');
var bVer = bVer.substring(0, pos);
}

if (bName == "Netscape")
{
var bVer = useragent.substring(8);
var pos = bVer.indexOf(' ');
var bVer = bVer.substring(0, pos);
}

if (bName == "Netscape" && parseInt(navigator.appVersion) >= 5)
{
var pos = useragent.lastIndexOf('/');
var bVer = useragent.substring(pos + 1);
}

document.writeln('<b>Browser Name: </b>' + bName + '<br>');
document.writeln('<b>Browser Version: </b>' + bVer + '<br>');

</script>
