Find out OS/Browser/....

[Mufasa]

We want to keep track of what OS/Browser people are using for our website.
How can I find that out so that I can write it to a DB ? I know how to get
it into the DB; I just need to know how to get that stuff in .Net.

Thanks.

Browser you can find you by reading User_Agent from ServerVaraibles .

Usually staff like that is done with Javascript using Navigator object.
first page that outputted to browser has a JavaScript code that collects all
that info and request a transparent pixel passing all that info as a
parameter.

<script>
....get all info into sVar.....
document.write( "<img src=collectdata .aspx?par=" + sVar + " border=0>");
</script>

Good luck. You can look at pretty much any statistical/free counter there
available. They almost all have code to collect visitors data.
GoogleAnalytic for example.

Thanks for the info. Problem with google - if you don't know what your
looking for, it can take forever to find anything.

Frequently I've had it where I post a message here and then start googling.
And by the time I find something even close to appropriate, somebody has
already posted here.

But thanks again for the info.
