I need to detect in all browsers( Especially IE)
Posted

Hi All,

Steps to follow:

Step 1: Download the External JavaScipt from below link.

Step 2: Create JSP in eclipse and import the external JS.
Steps to import external JS to Eclipse project:
Right Click on your project -> New -> JavaScript Source File -> Click :Advanced -> Select :Link to File in Filesystem -> your Exteranl JS folder and click to finish.

Step 3: Copy the below two Java scripts tags and paste it inside your body tag.

Step 4: Call the check() method in your onclick or onsubmit.
example : <input type="button" value="Submit" onclick="check()" />

***********************************************************************************
The above piece of code will not function but below code will work on all scenarios even the Flash plugin is disabled. It will alert you plugin is disabled or enabled, installed or not installed and redirect you to flash site to install the flash player.

NOTE : My code need a predefined(external) JavaScript. This will work on all the browsers IE,Chrome,Firefox,safari,Netscape,opera.

you may use the below URL and download the predefined(external) JavaScript:

############Below script is to detect the browser#############

C#
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript">
function browserName(){
    var nAgt = navigator.userAgent;
    var browserName  = navigator.appName;
    var fullVersion  = ''+parseFloat(navigator.appVersion);

    var nameOffset,verOffset,ix;

    // In Opera, the true version is after "Opera" or after "Version"
    if (verOffset=!!window.opera || navigator.userAgent.indexOf(' OPR/') >= 0)
    {
            browserName = "Opera";
            fullVersion = nAgt.substring(verOffset+6);
            if ((verOffset=nAgt.indexOf("Version"))!=-1)
                fullVersion = nAgt.substring(verOffset+8);
    }

    // In MSIE, the true version is after "MSIE" in userAgent
    else if ((verOffset=nAgt.indexOf("MSIE"))!=-1)

        {
                browserName = navigator.appName;
        }
    }

    // trim the fullVersion string at semicolon/space if present
    if ((ix=fullVersion.indexOf(";"))!=-1)
            fullVersion=fullVersion.substring(0,ix);

    majorVersion = parseInt(''+fullVersion,10);

    if (isNaN(majorVersion))
    {
            fullVersion  = ''+parseFloat(navigator.appVersion);
            majorVersion = parseInt(navigator.appVersion,10);
    }

    return browserName.substring(0, 6).toLowerCase();
