Hi,

I want to detect if user is using AOL browser Following tell me about IE and Netscape but not about AOL.

***********************
if(navigator.appName == "Netscape")
{
 alert("You're using a Netscape browser.")
}
 else if(navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer")
{
 alert("You're using the Internet Explorer browser.")
}

*****************

Thanks

Run this code on an AOL browser:

alert(navigator.appName);

This will tell you what to look for.

HTH,

I don't really see *why* you'd want to detect an AOL browser, all it is is MSIE in an AOL wrapper.

Oh ya, I think I've tried it before, and it just says MSIE (compatible blah blah).

navigator.appName does not work on AOL. I tried the following if statement and no message popped up.

*************

if(navigator.appName == "Netscape")
{
 alert("You're using a Netscape browser.")
}
 else if(navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer")
{
 alert("You're using the Internet Explorer browser.")
}

else

alert("You're using AOL.")

******************

It seems my advice is falling on deaf ears.
AOL uses MSIE! AOL doesn't have a special browser!

<script type='text/javascript'>
    alert(navigator.appName);
</script>

Outputs "Microsoft Internet Explorer" when ran in an "AOL" browser.

Secondly, you do not need to detect the AOL browser anyway, if you'd bother reading my reply in your other thread! Don't bother asking questions if you aren't going to bother to read the answers.

Regards,
Rich

Richard with all due respect when someone ask a question mostly there is a reason for that based on their program logic.

Anyway one can find out whether client side is using actual AOL browswer or not with the following.

if (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("AOL") != -1) {
  AOL = "Yes"; }
