How can I use Javascript code to fool a website into thinking Mozilla is

[Deja Q]

Internet Explorer 4?

I've been beating my head against a wall for an hour and I'm stumped. Can anyone provide a basic solution as to how to detect the Mozilla browser? (I've code which redirects to specific browsers but I want to assign the generic is_IE4 variable to Mozilla...

Thanks!

1. try the prefbar -

you will be able to use it to toggle between a number of different browsers - mozilla will "report" itself as whatever you choose.


ON EDIT - nevermind. I misread you the first time. You're talking about the coding of the SITE, and how the site reacts, not the browser. Sorry!

2. There's an extension to do it

Try the User Agent Switcher. That should do what you want. :-)

3. I don't understand why you're stuck

if == mozilla then set IE_4 :shrug:
