Hi,
I'm new to web creation for Mac clients. As you can see in some threads in
this NG, I have some other problems to develop a web application for Mac
clients. But I want to solve one very basic issue here, how can I detect
OS/Browser versions on Mac client? What I've learned in recent weeks is
that there are many differences between OSX and olders, so think I have to
have separated script code for those platforms. I'm attempting to write
script code for Internet Explorer only, not for NN and others.

I run a quick test to see navigator object and its properties on both OSX
and OS9, but couldn't see any difference. It seems that either IE5 for OSX
and IE5 for Classic have same version strings within navigator object.

Can anyone help me?
best regards,
TK

Thank you very much guys!

As per Rick and Mickey's suggestion, I went to look closer at version
strings. Yes I can see a bit of difference in navigator.userAgent.
Test page shows "MSIE 5.21" on OSX, but "MSIE 5.0" on OS9.2.

ITOH, I think it may worth that consider to support Safari browser, as Harri
mentioned.
However, I'm wondering whether I can expect enough population of Safari
users.
What do you think guys? Time is not yet ripe for it?
