Get the browser's version info.

This is my study note about javascript!

object:Navigator

1. navigator contains the information about browser, always used to detect the browser and operating the system's version

object method:

property	describe
appCodeName	A string representation of browser code name
appName	Returns the name of the browser
appVersion	Returns the browser platform and version information
platform	Returns the operating system platform of the browser
userAgent	Returned the user-agent's header values what is sends to the server by the client.

example：

<script type="text/javascript">
document.write("appCodeName:"+navigator.appCodeName);

document.write("<br/>");

document.write("appName:"+navigator.appName);

document.write("<br/>")

document.write("appVersion:"+navigator.appVersion);

document.write("<br/>");

document.write("platform:"+navigator.platform);

document.write("<br/>");

document.write("userAgent:"+navigator.userAgent);
  
</script>

results：

2. we could determine the browser version with method "userAgent".

browser	userAgent
chrome	Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko)Chrome/34.0.1847.116 Safari/537.36)
firefox	Mozilla/5.0(Windows NT 6.1;WOW64;rv:24.0)Gecko/20100101 Firefox/24.0
IE8	Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/4.0;SLCC2;.NETclr2.0.50727;.NETclr3.5.30729;.NTCLR3.0.30729;.NET4.0C)

 

example:

<script type="text/javascript">
  function validB(){ 
    var u_agent = navigator.userAgent; 
    var B_name="It isn't the main browser!"; 
    if(u_agent.indexOf("Firefox")>-1){ 
        B_name="Firefox"; 
    }else if(u_agent.indexOf("Chrome")>-1){ 
        B_name="Chrome"; 
    }else if(u_agent.indexOf("MSIE")>-1&&u_agent.indexOf("Trident")>-1){ 
        B_name="IE(8-10)";  
    }
        document.write("Browser:"+B_name+"<br>");
        document.write("u_agent:"+u_agent+"<br>"); 
  } 
</script>

results：

Browser:Chrome
u_agent:Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/41.0.2272.118 Safari/537.36
