ASP FAQ Tutorials :: Classic ASP 1.0 :: COM / ActiveX Components :: Why does Browscap give me 'unknown' or tell me IE is Netscape?


Why does Browscap give me 'unknown' or tell me IE is Netscape?

Your Browscap.ini file is probably outdated, or you are using an obscure browser. Unfortunately, developers are pretty much left on their own these days when it comes to Browscap.ini. See Article #2199 for information on obtaining a more recent copy of Browscap.ini. 
 
If you want to avoid using Browscap, see some tips for manually detecting browsers in Article #2184
 
In addition, CyScape makes a great browser detection component called BrowserHawk -- reducing the need for much of the manual coding to provide proper browser detection.
