hi,


navigator.appName and navigator.appVersion may help
but it is always adviceable to check this at server side and then write 
appropriate code.

IN ASP, you can get it from
request.servervariables("HTTP_USER_AGENT")

  Subject: [javascript] How to detect device being used?


  I have been trying to figure out how to include a script in the 
beginning of
  my index.htm that will check whether a user is using a PC or a 
handheld
  device and then redirect them to the appropriate version of the site.  
Any
  ideas?  I haven't been able to find any resources on this.

  Thanks!
