Re: Need advice on reliable way to identify IE asthe browser

Yep - you interpreted my needs just right.

This way if ActiveX is supported with this object type, we're good to go - otherwise I have the alternative code path.

As I've read about browser determination, the direction seems to go toward functional determination instead - so I like this a lot.

Reagrds and thanks to all
