See my <http://www.rossde.com/internet/sniffing.html>. Also see <http://wiki.mozilla.org/User:Sardisson/Gecko_is_Gecko> and <https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Browser_Detection_and_Cross_Browser_Support>. Note that a vigorous discussion recently occurred on the mozilla.dev.planning newsgroup about pruning the UA string, possibly eliminating any mention of the browser's user interface (e.g., "Firefox", "SeaMonkey"). Because of the prevalence of invalid sniffing, I think this would break so many Web sites that users would abandon Gecko-based browsers. Followup set to mozilla.support.seamonkey. -- David E. Ross <http://www.rossde.com/> Go to Mozdev at <http://www.mozdev.org/> for quick access to extensions for Firefox, Thunderbird, SeaMonkey, and other Mozilla-related applications. You can access Mozdev much more quickly than you can Mozilla Add-Ons. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
