Test for AOL user?

[Jon_King]

I have a situation where I would like to test for an AOL user on a page with a generic info form. And then send an indication with the form that it was submitted by an AOL user. How does one accomplish this?

What server?

If IIS then use browscap.ini which includes detection for AOL.

If you need an up to date browscap.ini visit the website in my profile.

Yes it is IIS. But I don't understand the implementation of the file you speak of.

Here's the basic ASP/VBscript you need to recognize an AOL client:

<%
Dim bc
Dim ClientIsAOL
Set bc = Server.CreateObject("MSWC.BrowserType")
ClientIsAOL = (bc.AOL = true)
Set bc = Nothing
%>

Excellent. Thank you very much.

You're welcome. If you need anything else just ask. And make sure you have an up-to-date browscap.ini.
