@ecrossauthorJul 31.2003 — Okay, there is a external file called useragent.js. I modified it because there was a lot of junk that I didn't want to see. Now, when I open a webpage that is saved onto my computer, I get the following:

par par You are using Windows XP.

What is the par about?

I changed the file extension to a text file so I can show you the code. In my webpage, I'm using these lines:

<html>

<body>

You are using

<script language="Javascript">

<!--This is the detect script

document.writeln(sUserAgent);

-->

</script>

</body>

</html>

<script type="text/javascript">

var sUserAgent;

var agt=navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase();

var bWindows = ( (agt.indexOf("win")!=-1) || (agt.indexOf("16bit")!=-1) );

var bWindowsme = ((agt.indexOf("win 9x 4.90")!=-1));

var bWindowsXP = ((agt.indexOf("windows nt 5.1")!=-1));

var bWindows98 = ((agt.indexOf("win98")!=-1) || (agt.indexOf("windows 98")!=-1));
