browser-detection

I'm using Java 6. I have very less knowledge of JSP and Servlets. I'm using the following code to get browser name in which my application is running: String browserName = requestProvider.get().getHeader("User-Agent"); Also I'm using the following code to get IP address of the machine on which my application is running: String ipAdd = requestProvider.get().getRemoteAddr(); In both the cases requestProvider is a reference variable of type Provider<HttpServletRequest> . And I'm assured that it is never NULL . Now the problem is some times I get both values ( browserName and ipAdd ) NULL. I've

Is there any way to differentiate IE7 versus IE6 using PHP's get_browser() function? You can do so as such: $browser = get_browser(); if($browser->browser == 'IE' && $browser->majorver == 6) { echo "IE6"; } elseif($browser->browser == 'IE' && $browser->majorver == 7) { echo "IE7"; } A quick look to the official get_browser() documentation would of answered your question. Always read the documentation before. I read that get_browser() is a relatively slow function, so I was looking for something speedier. This code checks for MSIE 7.0, outputting "Otay!" if true. It's basically the same answer

I was talking with a friend about users who do not have javascript enabled in their browser and what could be done to show them a "no-javascript" version of your website. Is it possible and how can it be done? Thoughts? Don't try to build separate JS and non-JS versions of the site. Build a non-JS version and then enhance it with JS . This makes it easier to reuse code, allows you to use object/feature detection for the entire stack, and makes it less likely that users without JavaScript will be left behind if developers update one branch of the site but not the other. If you mean javascript,

I know browsersniffing is not the correct way to design a site for multiple browsers. My question however is not related to designing a site which behaves well for each browser. I want to offer the user the ability to install the site as a webapp if the browser is Google Chrome or Firefox 4+, as a widget if it's Opera, as an extension if it's Safari... and so on Basically I want to slide in a div with a button offering this kind of install. There is no use showing the webapp solution if the browser is for example Safari as Safari has no support for it. So how do I do this in a good way? I

This has been asked few times but I think it's still worth checking with you guys for some more input. All my websites use Google Analytics for stats. Since it relies on JavaScript I thought it was important for me to check how many people actually have JS enabled in their browsers enabled/disabled. I remember I usually checked w3schools browser statistics , and recent results show something around 95% which was quite satisfactory for me. But since it applies purely on their website, I thought I'd check what was it on mine. I tried few methods but recently I count all page views and all

I'm trying to detect with javascript if my website is running on a kindle fire mobile device. I've tried with navigator.userAgent and navigator.appVersion but I get this results on kindle : 5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_3; en-us) AppleWebKit/533.16 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.0 Safari/533.16 and Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_3; en-us) AppleWebKit/533.16 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.0 Safari/533.16 What can I use form those strings to know that I'm on a kindle and not on other device? The User Agent String for Kindle Fire is: Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 2.3.4; en

I downloaded the browscap.ini file and then pasted it to the directory "C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.4.3\extras" and i went to php.ini file and made these changes there: [browscap] ; http://php.net/browscap browscap = extras/browscap.ini and then i restarted the server, and typed the following code into temp.php file: <?php echo $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] . "<br><br>"; $browser = get_browser(null, true); print_r($browser); ?> now the output is like: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1) AppleWebKit/537.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/22.0.1229.79 Safari/537.4 Warning: get_browser(): browscap ini directive not

I would like to show my users a bar that looks like this, if: Browser is not IE; or Browser is IE but is version 8 or earlier (Note that the screenshot is just for illustration - IE 9 is supported for my site.) I found this nice jQuery plugin, but I don't want to use popups. http://jreject.turnwheel.com/ The site where I will implement this is a Sharepoint 2013 site, so I will use a content editor webpart to include the HTML content you provide and the bar should be at the top of everything else. Please include CSS if needed to make it look as the screenshot? Paul D. Waite HTML IE 9 and

Can anyone recommend a good library of .browser definition files that is regularly updated? I've found both OceanSpiders from http://owenbrady.net/browsercaps/ and some definition files from http://aspnet.codeplex.com/releases/view/41420 but I'm not sure if either are regularly updated (the iPad isnt included for example). Thanks in advance Al Heini Samuelsen These definition files are "regularly" updated by Microsoft, and pushed through Windows Update. "Regularly" might mean years, though. A hotfix for the browser definition files for IE and Firefox was released recently, see http://www
