Apache and Javascript
Hi All,
Sorry, I'm still learning. Does Apache read the header information sent by a users browser, or do I have to configure it to do so? If I have to configure it, how do I do it? I have run into several problems which I suspect are related to this issue. For example, I need to detect the browser type which is accessing a website. The following is a browser detection page, but the variable 'navigator.appname' always returns a value of "undefined", no matter which browser I use. I can't find any reference to this issue in the manual, so any guidance you can provide, I'd really appreciate. Thanks in advance, Jim <DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title>Browser Type</title> </head> <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> <h1> <script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript"> <!-- hide script document.write(navigator.appname) //stop hiding script --> </script> </h1> </body> </html> |

Re: Apache and Javascript
Thanks Hans!
I continue to learn! Being a Visual Basic programmer has made me very lazy about watching cases. I entered your correction, and well...problem solved. Again, thanks Jim "HansH" <hans@niet.op.het.net> wrote in message news:42b6ff0e$0$14048$e4fe514c@news.xs4all.nl... > "James Warren" <noSpamNews@jdwarren.us> schreef in bericht > news:4fBte.994204$w62.214451@bgtnsc05-news.ops.worldnet.att.net... >> Hi All, >> Sorry, I'm still learning. >> Does Apache read the header information sent by a users browser, > Yes, it will take notice of things like character set, prefered language > and > the ability to recieve compressed data. > Some headers, like browser name, are usually just logged. > >> or do I have to configure it to do so? > >> If I have to configure it, how do I do it? > You do not want to know ... > >> I have run into several problems which I suspect are related to this > issue. > >> For example, I need to detect the browser type which is accessing a > website. >> The following is a browser detection page, but the variable >> 'navigator.appname' always returns a value of "undefined", no matter >> which >> browser I use.
