Example 10.1:
Objects and Properties--the navigator Properties
[This example works with Netscape Navigator 3. In Netscape Navigator 2 and Internet Explorer 2 you'll see an error message, and the last two properties will not be displayed.]
This example displays the properties of the Navigator object.
These are the scripts we used. First, in the HEAD:
<![CDATA[
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
function DisplayProperties() {
document.write("<P><B>navigator.appCodeName =</B> " + navigator.appCodeName)
document.write("<P><B>navigator.appName =</B> " + navigator.appName)
document.write("<P><B>navigator.appVersion =</B> " + navigator.appVersion)
document.write("<P><B>navigator.userAgent =</B> " + navigator.userAgent)
document.write("<P>The following are JavaScript 1.1 properties, which won't appear in Navigator 2.")
document.write("<P><B>navigator.mimeTypes[0].type =</B> " + navigator.mimeTypes[0].type)
document.write("<P><B>navigator.plugins[0].name =</B> " + navigator.plugins[0].name)
document.write("<P>The following are JavaScript 1.2 properties, which won't appear in Navigator 2 or 3.")
document.write("<P><B>navigator.language =</B> " + navigator.language)
document.write("<P><B>navigator.platform =</B> " + navigator.platform)
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>
]]>
Later in the script the function is called from this script:
<![CDATA[
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
DisplayProperties()
//-->
</SCRIPT>
]]>
