Here I am again, needing more assistance.  :)

I am trying to write a javascript that will determine if the client is IE =
or Netscape.
It then plays a background sound for IE or and Embedded sound for =
Netscape.
It seems to work fine for IE.  But not on Netscape.
When I look at the source on Netscape it shows both the Bkground sound and =
embed commands.
My Netscape is 4.08 and is Javascript enabled.

Any assistance would be great.  :)

Thanks,
Lynn


Here is the code:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>LadyWolfMoon's Den</TITLE>

//window.status=3D"Welcome to Lady Wolfmoon's Den";
defaultStatus=3D"Welcome to Lady Wolfmoon's Den";

//create browser object
var browser =3D new Object();

//load browser version
browser.version =3D parseInt(navigator.appVersion);


//determine what browser is used
browser.isNavigator=3Dfalse;
browser.isIE=3Dfalse;
if(navigator.appName.indexOf("Netscape") !=3D -1)
  {
    browser.isNavigator=3Dtrue;
  }
else if(navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft") !=3D -1)
  {
    browser.isIE=3Dtrue;
  }

//play the sound if they use ie
