I WANT TO DETECT THE USERS BROWSER. cAN I DETECT THE OPERA BROWSER?

[jkd]

Only reliable way to detect Opera:

if (typeof window.opera != 'undefined') {
// using opera
}

BTW, no need for yelling (caps) :).

and if i want to detet and the version?

navigator.appVersion

You will probably want to parse that value out, parseFloat to see minor versions and parstInt to see major versions

parseFloat(navigator.appVersion)
parseInt(navigator.appVersion)

function operaVersion()
{
if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf('Opera') != -1)
{
var opVer=navigator.userAgent; // Something to start with
if (opVer.indexOf('Opera/') != -1) opSplit=opVer.split('Opera/'); // If Opera is identifying as itself, use this.
else opSplit=opVer.split('Opera'); // If Opera is identifying itself as anything else, use this.
var opVerParsed=parseFloat(opSplit[1]); // Find the version number as a numeric instead of a string.

if (opVerParsed.toString().length==1) opVerParsed+=".0"; // For Opera 6, display Opera 6.0

document.write(opVerParsed);
}
}
