This is being used in some cases:
/* Autodetect browser type; sets browser var to 'IE', 'Safari',
'Firefox' or empty string. */
function getBrowser()
{
var name = navigator.appName;
var agent = navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase();
if (name.indexOf('Microsoft') != -1)
{
if (agent.indexOf('mac') == -1)
{
browser = 'IE';
// note that Mac IE is considered to be uncategorized
}
}
else if (agent.indexOf('safari') != -1)
{
browser = 'Safari';
}
else if (agent.indexOf('firefox') != -1)
{
browser = 'Firefox';
}
}

Are you using ExternalInterface to talk to javascript in the html
wrapper? I haven't worked with browsers enough recently to remember
what javascript knows about the host browser.

Subject: [flexcoders] how can I know what browser my app is in?
I have looked up userAgent, user-agent, browser, browser type, etc. and
can not find anything that will allow me to tell what browser is hosting
my app.
Can anyone tell me if and where something like this may be?
Thanks,
Mike
