Thanks Michael, Using this method I got for IE Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 4.0) and for Netscape Mozilla/4.08 [en] (WinNT; U) but I need more specific info. Thanks.

I did a search in this forum for 'browser type', lots of folks have asked this question (including me). From a quick look most people seem to check if it's not IE. I think I've seen AOL in the string for that browser. Wonder what other browser types give?

If the browser type contains "MSIE" then it is Microsoft Internet Explorer. If it doesn't but it does contain "Mozilla" then it is Netscape.
I wonder what this browser is?: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; AOL 6.0; Windows 95) This comes from a program I have that logs user information at login. According to Thomas, it would be IE, what's up with the 'AOL'?
I agree. Here's the link: http://ej-technologies/jprofiler - if it wasn't for jprofiler, we would need to
run our stuff on 16 servers instead of 3.
