Detect Netscape 6.0 vs 6.1 vs 6.2

How can I tell which of these browsers is being used?

I'm getting different layout results in Netscape 6.0, 6.1, and 6.2. It'd be OK if I could sniff for the three different browsers and code accordingly, but unfortunately navigator.appVersion returns the same for all three. How can I tell which version of N6 is being used? Client-side detection would be best, but server-side (jsp) is also a possibility.

You should be able to pull these values out using the navigator.userAgent property in client JavaScript.

You'll see at the end of the userAgent string that it ends Netscape6/6.x where the x is the point version you are after. You'll be able to use the same detection on the server using the user agent - in ASP it would be Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_USER_AGENT").

Thanks Joshie! That worked great :)
