Thanks a lot, guys! <br />

No problem agent002, all part of the service.<!--content-->If you are using PHP the script below may help. I have written it to return the browser in the form of a two-letter browser type code, and a one digit browser version number.<br />
<br />
NOW IN ATTACHMENT ON NEXT POST<br />
<br />
The following are the various browsers supported. Their two-letter codes are in brackets.<br />
<br />
Microsoft Internet Explorer <br />
Netscape [NS]<br />
Mozilla [MZ]<br />
Opera [OP]<br />
Safari [SF]<br />
Konqueror [KO]<br />
W3C (includes validator and link checker, maybe more) [W3]<br />
Googlebot [GO]<br />
<br />
It also supports the following browser versions, most likely more.<br />
<br />
IE 4+ (most likely many more versions)<br />
NS 2+<br />
MZ 1+<br />
OP 5+ (most likely many more versions)<br />
SF (unknown)<br />
GO 3+ (most likely many more versions)<br />
KO 2+ (most likely many more versions)<br />
W3 (unknown)<br />
<br />
Please note that some browsers such as Opera and Konqueror allow you to change the User Agent tag. In Opera, this can easily be avoided, as it adds "Opera/?" to all user agent tags. In Konqueror however, it does not - meaning that it is possible, for example, for a computer running Linux with Konqueror to be identified as running Windows with Internet Explorer. No fixes for this problem are available at this time. I am strongly against this feature in browsers, and I think of it as lieing.<!--content-->Here is the script, it was not displaying right before as the forum was replacing some source code with emoticons :@.<!--content-->Thanks a lot, me_, but I'm using Perl, not PHP. And I think I'll manage with the links they gave.<!--content-->Originally posted by me_ <br />

Can you? How?<!--content-->UserAgent in IE (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.winguides.com/registry/display.php/799/">http://www.winguides.com/registry/display.php/799/</a><!-- m -->) <br />
<br />
UserAgent in Mozilla (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.granneman.com/webdev/browsers/mozillan/changemo/index">http://www.granneman.com/webdev/browser ... gemo/index</a><!-- m -->)<!--content-->Coo...never knew you could do that with MSIE and Mozilla.<br />
<br />
There's me always doing it with PHP. Hey-ho, always one for the hard life :D<!--content-->If the forum messes up your script by inserting smilies into it then just tick the box marked Disable Smilies in This Post when you post.<!--content-->giz, oh yeah, well -- I forgot about that.<br />
<br />
scoutt -- There is a difference. In Opera and Konqueror the user agent tag can easily be changed by an everyday user through the normal browser settings, while in Internet Explorer and Mozilla you need to go into a special un-friendly environment, such as the registry or source code.<!--content-->so what, you would still be surprised how many people do it.<!--content-->Mozilla needs one line of code added to the user file. <br />
<br />
Simple job.<!--content-->Simple to people like us that are not scared of that stuff. Normal people might be frightened.<!--content-->so, we are developing a browser-sniffer..<br />
<br />
now i'll include new browsers... <br />
<br />
thanx for the links<br />
<br />
<br />
when it will be finished, i'll tell you :)<!--content-->
