hi
i want to know if there's a way to detect the browser and show diffrent outputs.

here's what i am trying to get working, if the visitor is not using firefox i want it to show an image that says "get firefox" and the image is linked to "getfirefox.com" how do i do this?

you can use the navigator object's appName to get the name of the browser:

Code:

var browser = navigator.appName;


You can also use appVersion and appMinorVersion to get the version numbers of the browser.

That's stupid. Really.

And you're saying that it wouldn't be stupid if someone would visit the site with firefox, and then getting an image telling you to download firefox?

There are many javascript thingies out there to find the browser version, you should just google a bit I guess.

this works in PHP...

Code:
