Question
I need to separate IE and FF browsers from others
it's a pseudo-code :
If (CurrentBrowser == IE(6+) or FF(2+) )
{
...
}
else
{
...
}
in protected void Page_Load()
event (think so)
if ((Request.Browser.Type == "IE") || (Request.Browser.Type == "FF"))
{
WebMsgBox.Show("1111");
}
no effects :-/ what is IE and FF types?
Solution
if (Request.Browser.Type.Contains("Firefox")) // replace with your check
{
...
}
else if (Request.Browser.Type.ToUpper().Contains("IE")) // replace with your check
{
if (Request.Browser.MajorVersion < 7)
{
DoSomething();
}
...
}
else { }
OTHER TIPS
Here's a way you can request info about the browser being used, you can use this to do your if statement
System.Web.HttpBrowserCapabilities browser = Request.Browser;
string s = "Browser Capabilities\n"
+ "Type = " + browser.Type + "\n"
+ "Name = " + browser.Browser + "\n"
+ "Version = " + browser.Version + "\n"
+ "Major Version = " + browser.MajorVersion + "\n"
+ "Minor Version = " + browser.MinorVersion + "\n"
+ "Platform = " + browser.Platform + "\n"
+ "Is Beta = " + browser.Beta + "\n"
+ "Is Crawler = " + browser.Crawler + "\n"
+ "Is AOL = " + browser.AOL + "\n"
+ "Is Win16 = " + browser.Win16 + "\n"
+ "Is Win32 = " + browser.Win32 + "\n"
+ "Supports Frames = " + browser.Frames + "\n"
+ "Supports Tables = " + browser.Tables + "\n"
+ "Supports Cookies = " + browser.Cookies + "\n"
+ "Supports VBScript = " + browser.VBScript + "\n"
+ "Supports JavaScript = " +
browser.EcmaScriptVersion.ToString() + "\n"
+ "Supports Java Applets = " + browser.JavaApplets + "\n"
+ "Supports ActiveX Controls = " + browser.ActiveXControls
+ "\n";
Try the below code
HttpRequest req = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request
string browserName = req.Browser.Browser;
private void BindDataBInfo()
{
System.Web.HttpBrowserCapabilities browser = Request.Browser;
Literal1.Text = "<table border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"3\" cellpadding=\"2\">";
foreach (string key in browser.Capabilities.Keys)
{
Literal1.Text += "<tr><td>" + key + "</td><td>" + browser[key] + "</tr>";
}
Literal1.Text += "</table>";
browser = null;
}
I would not advise hacking browser-specific things manually with JS. Either use a javascript library like "prototype" or "jquery", which will handle all the specific issues transparently.
Or use these libs to determine the browser type if you really must.
