request.brower

[Tina]

I am testing for brower type and version. When I use my FireFox version
1.07 browser I'm getting Netscape5 for type and 5.0 for version.

Why?
Thanks,
T

Because your browser capabilities files aren't up-to-date.

If you are using ASP.NET 1.1, make sure your machine.config
and/or your web.config have updated capabilities definitions for Firefox 1.07.

If you are using ASP.NET 2.0, make sure your firefox.browser
file has updated capabilities definitions for Firefox 1.07.

That is correct, and I know just how frustrated you are, because I had the
same problem. But someone eventually told me a place where I could download
updated .config files. Here is that URL, it is definitely one to remember:

Good luck!
