Because the value of the variable 'ua' is 'shonenscape'. It should be navigator.userAgent.

[carramba]

but 'ua' is 'ShonenScape' not 'shonenscape' and script still don't work

[drbrain]

var ua = 'ShonenScape'.toLowerCase();

Should be var ua = navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase(). In your code, after the toLowerCase(), ua == 'shonenscape'

if (ua.indexOf("win")!= -1) {text=text_win;}

"win" is not in the string "shonenscape"

else if (ua.indexOf("mac")!= -1) {text=text_mac;}
else if (ua.indexOf("linux")!= -1) {text=text_linux;}
else if (ua.indexOf("x11")!= -1) {text=text_unix;}
else {text=text_unknown;}

Nor in any of the rest of these.
