Hi Kerry,
some good javascript resources are www.irt.org and www.webmonkey.com.
You can get the browser properties using:
navigator.appName
and
navigator.appVersion
and then parsing the information into strings to look for something like
"mac" or "ie".
There are better places to explain this stuff so I won't even try. As far as
plugin detection, only Netscape supports this on the client side. To do a
good job of this in Internet Explorer, you'll need some sort of server side
package like Cyscape Browserhawk.
Some good script locations are:

http://www.javascriptsource.com

Subject: <lingo-l> Detecting browsers & plugins
I need to write some javascript and html to detect some things:
- Browser and version
- Platform
- Shockwave plugin
- Flash plugin
I know this may not be the best forum for this question, but can somebody
point me in the right direction? What's my best resource?
I'm hopelessly lingo-bound, and absolutely have to get up to speed on this
stuff like quick.
Cordially,
Kerry Thompson
