Script works in IE not in Netscape

[Acternaweb]

I have set up a javascript to test screen resolution and a browser sniffer. Currently I have 2 separate scripts that work as they are supposed to in IE. However when I go to Netscape, only one works. I can not find my mistake.

Should I post the code here for your help?

Thanks,

Paul

here you go:

Thanks for your help
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- Begin
var bestwidth = 800;
var bestheight = 600;
if (screen.width != bestwidth ¦¦ screen.height != bestheight) {
msg = "This site looks best when viewed when your screen "
+ "is set to a " + bestwidth + "x" + bestheight + " resolution, "
+ "but your screen resolution is " + screen.width + "x"
+ screen.height + ". Please change your screen resolution "
+ "to best view the site, if possible. Thanks!";
document.write(msg);
}
else
if (screen.width == bestwidth ¦¦ screen.height == bestheight) {
msg = "<font face='Comic Sans MS, Arial'><center>Congrats, your screen resolution is set at the best resolution.";
document.write(msg);
}

// End -->
</script>

<script language="JavaScript">
<!-- Script Begin
if (navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer") {
msg = "<font face='Comic Sans MS, Arial'>You are using a version of IE which will give you the full effect of our site.<BR>"
+ "Please visit us often";
document.write(msg);
}
else
if (screen.width == "Netscape") {
msg = "You are currently viewing the site using Netscape. "
+ " While our site is visable through Netscape, we recommend using IE 5.0 or"
+ "newer"
+ "You can <a href='http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.htm'>get IE 5.5 here </a>";
document.write(msg);
}

</script>

> if (screen.width == "Netscape")

remplace this by
(navigator.appName == "Netscape") and i think it would be work better :)

remove the line <!-- Script Begin from the second script or end it

not so sure about nesting the url inside the script either but might be ok

That seemed to do it.. never realized Begin and end were important to netscape.

Thanks,
