How can I pass user's browser, OS and resolution information to the
form element?
I need to make radiobuttons to be checked by default according to the
user's information.
For example,
if visitor's browser is IE I would like the radiobutton with
value="Internet Explorer" to be checked by default.
Thanks.
Here is the part of the form:
<html>
<head>
<script language="JavaScript">
var browserName = navigator.appName
var browserVersion = navigator.appVersion
var OS = navigator.userAgent
var screenWidth = screen.width
var screenHeight = screen.height
document.write("Browser: <b>"+ browserName + " ??" +
browserVersion + "</b><br>")
document.write("OS: <b>" + OS + "</b><br>")
document.write("Screen resolution: <b>" + screenWidth + "
</b>x<b> " + screenHeight + "</b><br>")
</script>
</head>
<form name="form1" method="post" action="">
<input type="radio" name="browser" value="Internet
Explorer">Internet Explorer<br>
<input type="radio" name="browser" value="Netscape">Netscape<br>
<input type="radio" name="browser" value="Other">Other<br>
<hr color="red" width="200" align="left">
<input type="radio" name="OS" value="Win 95">Windows 95<br>
<input type="radio" name="OS" value="Win XP">Windows XP<br>
<input type="radio" name="OS" value="Win 2000">Windows 2000<br>
</form>
</html>

That's the easy part. The hard part is to find the OS and browser
(resolution is pretty standardized in screen.width, screen.height
and screen.pixelDepth).
To set a radiobutton in your form, use the following function:
---
function setRadio(form,radioGroupName,value) {
var rg = form.elements[radioGroupName];
if (!rg.length) { // not a group, so only one element
rg.checked = true;
return;
}
for (var i=0;i<rg.length;i++) {
if (rg[i].value == value) {
rg[i].checked = true;
return;
}
}
}
---
Then call it as, e.g.,
---
setRadio(document.forms["form1"],"browser","Netscape");
---
I need to make radiobuttons to be checked by default according to the
user's information.
Use the above function after the page has loaded.
For example,
if visitor's browser is IE I would like the radiobutton with
value="Internet Explorer" to be checked by default.
if (browseIsIE) {
setRadio(document.forms["form1"],"browser","Internet Explorer");
}
<script language="JavaScript">
In HTML 4, the type attribute is required, and it is sufficient in
all versions.
<script type="text/javascript">
var browserName = navigator.appName
var browserVersion = navigator.appVersion
var OS = navigator.userAgent
You can't trust these values if the browser tries to look like another
browser. Since the user has a chance to correct the values, it only means
that the initial setting is the one the user has asked his browser to
show, so it's an acceptable mistake.
Add:
---
function init() {
var detectedOS;
var detectedBrowser;
// determine browser and OS
setRadio(document.forms['form1'],"browser",detectedBrowser);
setRadio(document.forms['form1'],"OS",detectedOS);
}
</script>
</head>
You are missing the <body> tag. Always validate your code before
asking for help!
<body onload="init()">
<input type="radio" name="browser" value="Internet
Explorer">Internet Explorer<br>
<input type="radio" name="browser" value="Netscape">Netscape<br>
The difference between Netscape 4 and Netscape 7 is bigger than
the difference between Netscape 7 and IE 6.
What if I use Mozilla, which shows pages exactly the same as Netscape
7? Should I select Netscape?
<input type="radio" name="browser" value="Other">Other<br>
Good that this choice is included. We are not living in the era
of "both browsers" any more.
<hr color="red" width="200" align="left">
<input type="radio" name="OS" value="Win 95">Windows 95<br>
<input type="radio" name="OS" value="Win XP">Windows XP<br>
<input type="radio" name="OS" value="Win 2000">Windows 2000<br>
What about "Other" here (non Windows and Win98, WinME, and WinNT5)?
What is this for, anyway?

Thank you very much. Your advices are very helpful.
<What if I use Mozilla, which shows pages exactly the same <as Netscape
<7? Should I select Netscape?
I gave you just a part of that form, the real form has more options.
<What about "Other" here (non Windows and Win98, WinME, <and WinNT5)?
Actually, there is "other" in this case.
