Hi

You have to use the Request.ServerVairables("HTTP_USER_AGENT") which will return the following for IE 7...

Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; Media Center PC 4.0; .NET CLR 2.0.50727)

You can then use...

Code:

strBrowser = Request.ServerVairables("HTTP_USER_AGENT")
If InSrt(strBrowser, "MSIE7") > 0 Then
    strUserBrowser = "IE 7"
Elseif InStr(strBrowser, "Mozilla/5.0") > 0 Then
    strUserBrowser = "FireFox"
End if

You need to add an elseif for each browser user agent string.
