I had a quick question, the code below was just a screwing around kind of thing, but I thought it was decent so i added it to my site. It checks the users settings vs. the preferred setting for my website and lets the visitor know what matches the sites settings and what doesn't. It wokrs awesome in IE, but only the first line with the browser name comes up in Netscape. I was wondering why this happens and how/if I can fix it? You can see what it looks like at http://savepitbulls.8m.com/opti.html. It normally opens-up in a fitted pop-up but that's the direct link to the page. The code I used is below:
<html>

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>Save The Pit Bulls: System Check</title>
<style fprolloverstyle>A:hover {text-decoration: none}</style>
</head>

<body alink="#000000" link="#000000" text="#000000" vlink="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<script language="JavaScript">

</script>
</body>

</html>

Netscape 8.0.4 gives an error in it's javascript console:

Error: navigator.browserLanguage has no properties
Source File: http://savepitbulls.8m.com/opti.html
Line: 15

Foxfire 1.0.6 & Nestscape 7.2 give the same error in the javascript console.

So I would say that navigator.borwserLanguage is a IE only property

Moz simply uses navigator.language. To see all the supported properties/methods of navigator object, run this code:
var s='';
for (var i in navigator)
s += i + "=" + navigator[i] + "\n";
alert(s)

So your code would be:

var lang = (navigator.browserLanguage) ? navigator.browserLanguage.toLowerCase() : (navigator.language) ? navigator.language.toLowerCase() : ""; //or you may set default to "en"

if (lang.indexOf("en")!=-1){
//english
}

awesome, thanx, it works great now. just a couple more questions if anyone can answer them. once again, it works fine in IE, but for the screen.colorDepth and navigator.javaEnabled() attributes are messed up. you can see the code for them above, or check it out at the link above too, but basically it's returning the screen.colorDepth fine and it's supposed to display it green because it's the right colorDepth but it's showing up red like it's incorrect, but it's showing the right bits [32] and navigator.javaEnabled() is returning false even though it's enabled in my netscape. Its easier to understand if you check out the code above and then visit the site I listed above. can someone help me please? thanx for the previous help too!
