I would like to know when a user is NOT using a browser - because they are using a green screen or an emulator.

I could use javascript to test for each of the known browsers and, if one of those is not being used, assume that no browser is being used, but this is not very satisfactory. I feel that there ought to be a simpler way, perhaps testing a field in the INFDS but if so I don't know which. My excuse is that I was up very early this morning because of our general election today, so my brain is not at its best!

Any ideas please?
