Get the value of "User-Agent" header to determine Browser Type

Posted by Kishori Sharan on January 16, 2002 at 3:37 PM

Yes, you can know the browser used. How to get the browser type depends on your language you are using on server side. If you are using JSP then y9ou can get the browser using

request.getHeader ( "User-Agent" ). When you use HTML converter then it takes care of browser type when it generates the OBJECT and EMBED tags for applet taga.
