Browser detection script

Hello,
I'm wondering how playback in Flash or on older browsers work. Does the published content run a browser detection script?
Thank you.

Actually this seems to work better:
if (accept.indexOf("vnd.wap.wml") >= 0) {
// I have a WAP browser...
}I thought Opera (being WML compatible) would load the WML content, but thankfully it does not broadcast it in the Accept header.
Thanks.

Reliable Browser Detection Script

I'm looking for anyone with experience detecting if the browser is making the request is coming from a PDA or cell phone, vs. a desktop.
I want to redirect all PDAs and cellphones to a different section of the site automatically. I was hoping to find something a little more intuitive than just looking for 'Mozilla" in the user-agent.
Thanks.

¿How i make a Browser Detect swf movie?

Hi, i use a simple embed swf movie in one of many pages i own, but recently I build a new page in html5. But i tested in Internet Explorer and doesnt work well. What i need its a script code in AS3 to use in my swf movie that detect the browser and if the browser its IE9 load an old page, but if its other browser is like mozilla or chrome, load the new page in html5.
It is possible to do that in AS3 right?
Thanks to all

You can simply say "I want an animation to play before it decides which page to load" and we'd get it. So you want to show your logo animation.
Use the tutorial link I gave you and look at the code. It is a full example of browser detection using both actionscript and javascript. ActionScript needs JavaScript to get the information on what browser it is. All of the information and code examples are there to show you how to detect the browser.
Spanish translation:
Usted puede simplemente decir "yo quiero una animación para jugar antes de que decida lo que se cargue la página" y que sería para nosotros. Así que usted quieremostrar su animación de la insignia.
Utilice el enlace tutorial que te di y mirar el código. Se trata de un ejemplo completo dela detección del navegador utilizando tanto ActionScript y JavaScript. ActionScriptnecesita JavaScript para obtener la información del navegador que es. Todos los ejemplos de la información y el código están ahí para mostrar la forma de detectar el navegador.

Browser id script

I am trying to write a script that will identify which browser a user is using and direct them to a specific web page designed for their specific browser. Here is my script.
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>JavaScript - Browser detect</TITLE>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" TYPE="text/javascript">

</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
The problem is that the script automatically forwards to the first location and doesn't even seem to be reading the if statement. Basically if you visit the page with netscape you still get forwarded to the microsoft page. I am fairly new to this so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt

Here is my new revised script. I think I have fixed all the inconsistent strings and the IF statements. It still forwards netscape to the microsoft page. Any ideas?
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>JavaScript - Browser detect</TITLE>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" TYPE="text/javascript">

</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>

Browser detection code for JSP ?

Hi ,
          Im new to JSP (in case the question wasn't a give-away!!).
          I would like to know how to do a browser detect - becuase I have
          1 CSS for IE and another for Netscape.
          Is there some code snippet site that I can get it from, or can
          someone post it here please> >?
          Thanks heaps
          ROb


try:
          request.getHeader("User-Agent")
          If you want to see it, do something like:
          Browser: <%= request.getHeader("User-Agent") %>
          Hope that helps.
          Regards,
          Eric

DW8 and "browser-safe" scripts

I don't know if this is a bug in DW8 or a local problem, and
it's not really important either way, but I did want to get it off
my chest. When I open a HTML page containing a Shockwave movie
embedded with an <object> tag into DW8, I get the prompt that
the <object> tag may not work properly with recent versions
of IE, and do I want to use a browser-safe script instead? Out of
curiousity I've given this a go and uploaded a test page, and
amusingly the page now gives two runtime errors in IE6 which prompt
you to run the Microsoft Debugger - see
http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/nursing/sonet/test/dyslexia_test/2.html.
No such problem in Mozilla 1.7, of course. This is probably caused
by there being other Javascript scripts on the page, but it did
make me chortle anyway. "Browser-safe", eh? ;-)
I was hoping that the fix might kill the irritating but
non-fatal IE prompt you sometimes get on pages with Shockwave
movies, which prompts you to click Ok to run ActiveX content, but I
think I'll live with that rather than runtime errors...
Cheers
Fred

"Browser-safe", eh? ;-)
Definitely. Are you talking shockwave or Flash? The former is
for Director
files, the latter is for errr Flash files.
Anyhow, your two errors are -
Line 2, syntax error.
Line 159, object expected.
Fix the first by removing this line -
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
It's not needed, and furthermore, it hurts you by putting IE
into quirks
mode. I'm not quite sure why it's throwing this js error
though. <shrug>
The second error is caused by your failure to upload the
Scripts folder,
which contains the function called on line 159 -
<script type="text/javascript">
AC_SW_RunContent( '
Do those things and you'll see a difference.

Browser Detection Kit

I have a site with several flash buttons. I can see them in
IE but not Fiirefox or Netscape. I have re-downloaded Flash Player.
This is the page:
http://trainedwhistle.com/Audio_Books.html.
I have found references to the Flash Browser Detection Kit on this
sire but none of the links work. can anyone help me?

I get a 404 error when trying your link.
Can you check it and re-post.

Unsupported Browser Detected

On three computers (since we updated adobe this last time) when we try to open a PDF file, we get the following message-
"Unsupported Browser Detected
PDF Compatibility Mode requires Internet Explorer 5.5 for Windows or better
If you are not sure whether a supported browser is installed on your computer, please contact your system administrator. PDF Compatibility can be toggled on/off in your System Configuration settings."
I have IE10, Windows 7 (on this system) and XP on the other two. I have re-downloaded both acrobat and flash a few times now, went into the registry key to delete the "creative update" as was suggested on another thread (it was not there), and tried earlier versions. I also downloaded firefox as a browser as was also suggested... no go. I was also told that a 32 bit browser like Chrome would work. It didn't.
After three days of troubleshooting, re-downloading, etc., I am at my wits end.
HELP PLEASE

If the site only works with older versions of Firefox try it with Firefox 3.6
You may wish to try Firefox Portable, you can then use that for the problem site, and continue to use Firefox 8, or 9 for day to day browsing. (I think Firefox 9 is due out as a new Release today).

Does Weblogic Provides any in built utility for server side browser detection

          Hi
          Does Weblogic Provides any in built utility or package for server side browser
          detection i.e. to know the browser details
          of the client with the first request.
          One such available product is BrowserHawk(http://www.cyscape.com).
          any thing similar to this available?
          Thanks in advance
          Mrutyunjay


Hey Mohammed,
          yes, you could use just wl server to do file uploading. in your html client
          code, you need to specify the type of the data that you are sending as
          follows:
          <form action="UploadTestServlet" enctype="multipart/form-data" method=POST>
          File: <input type=file name=file><br>
          <input type=submit>
          </form>
          This will send your file to be processed by the UploadTestServlet. You need to
          code UploadTestServlet yourself to parse and extract useful data. check out
          www.servlets.com for a utility class that does just that

Flash Detection Script

Okay. Now it makes sense. Change this:
if ( MM_FlashCanPlay ) {
window.location.replace("
http://www.leoandsabrina.com/main.html");
} else{
window.location.replace("
http://www.leoandsabrina.com/poop.html");
To this:
if ( !MM_FlashCanPlay ) {
window.location.replace("

Detection script -- play alternative movies?

How can I create alternative content like a quicktime movie
to play as the alternative content, if user doesn't have flash
player 8? I can put text or images in script, but quicktime or
other media embeded in script doesn't show??

I have a detection script put in my flash movie, which is
embeded in my Dreamweaver file, from my Flash 8 authoring. It is
for Flash 8. I want user's who don't have Flash 8 player, to see a
quicktime version of that movie (in it's quicktime version). In the
script section "alternative content" I can only place text or
images and not quicktime or older flash movies -- it doesn't allow
me to. Is there a way to do this??

IE6-only browser detect?

How do I insert code to detect ONLY IE6? This seems to be the
only major browser that messes up my design.

Thanks!

Use IE Conditional Comments instead. Browser detection is
pretty
unreliable. To read more about IE CC's Google it.
