Browser Sniffers

This is where you'll find free Web-based browser sniffers that reveal your browser's capablities. These parameters (browser version, name, javascript/java capabilities, object/method support) can be useful when writing scripts to gracefully degrade, and for redirects to appropriate pages. (Note: our use of the term "sniffer" here should in no way be confused with products from Sniffer Technologies, Inc.)

BrowserHawk: BrowserHawk is an industrial strength server-side browser sniffer for ActiveX and Java environments. Usable from ASP, ColdFusion, servlets, and JSP, this component detects over 40 browser properties. From Cyscape.
