[Dynapi-Dev] Identifying Opera in DynAPI.Browser.js

[Daniel H. <dan...@ec...>]

Because most sites on the net check for IE or Netscape browsers Opera =
has had to pretend to be one of these for the sites to display. This is =
USER definable, and the check in browser.js only checks for Opera if =
navigator.appName=3D=3D"Microsoft Internet Explorer". To always =
correctly return "opera" I modified the code slightly. Now it checks if =
navigator.appName=3D=3D"Opera" or if Opera identifies as ANY other =
browser. This is only a minor correction to your existing source:

function Browser() {
    var b=3Dnavigator.appName;
    if (b=3D=3D"Netscape") this.b=3D"ns";
    // added appName check and removed the "else" from the opera check
    if ((b=3D=3D"Opera") || (navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Opera")>0)) =
this.b =3D "opera";
    else if (b=3D=3D"Microsoft Internet Explorer") this.b=3D"ie";
    if (!b) alert('Unidentified browser./nThis browser is not =
