I've actually found a unique way to do it with our implementation. I just
started here and the current implementation is very messy (There is not a
comment in sight. not even a bad one!). What was being attempted was to
create a form full of hidden input types and then setting the values of
those variables to the javascript values that I was trying to capture
(i.e. <form name="getinfo" action="script_test.cfm" method="post">
<input type="Hidden" name="MyBrowser"> ...
document.getinfo.MyBrowser.value=navigator.appName;)
We are using frames and that caused problems. All I did was to create an
additional frame, set the frame height to 0 and now it works fine. This way
it executes within that frame and doesn't try to sneak out like it did
before.
