You'll want to check #CGI.HTTP_USER_AGENT# and then parse it for the
browser and OS values.
A Macintosh will always have "Mac" somewhere in the string, but Windows
does not always put "Win" or "Windows" in the string. So, if it doesn't
say "Mac", assume it's Windows. It could be Unix, but Unix doesn't
consistently put a value in the user agent string either. Besides, Unix
browsers are almost always closer to Windows than to Macintosh in terms of
browser functions.
Internet Explorer will always report "MSIE" somewhere in the string. Opera
will report "Opera" unless it is set to spoof itself as some other browser.
Netscape does not consistently put a value into the string, so do the same
as with the OS and assume Netscape if you don't find either of these other
two.

Please

cf-talk
I need to sniff the operating system (Mac or PC) and browser
(Netscape or IE) type using Cold Fusion, then serve that particular
configuration a particular StyleSheet based on that info.
Does anyone have a solution or
know where I could look for this information?
Thanks!
