Javascript - Navigator Object

[Jl_G_0]

Hey all. Got a quick question:

How the navigator object gets the browser name and version ? Is it
from the registry ? Or from a system variable ? Is there any way to
modify it ?
In order to use it on my project I need to find this out...

Thx.

Why do you think you need to know about the navigator object? There is
likely a better way.

How the navigator object gets the browser name and version ?

It is built into the browser.

Is it from the registry ?
Depends.

Or from a system variable ?

That depends, too.

Is there any way to modify it ?

There is. How, depends on the operating system and the browser used.

In order to use it on my project I need to find this out...

No, you don't, unless your project is a documentation of known host objects.
See Peter's posting.
