The JavaScript Web Browser Detection And Update Link Example linked to below compares the Web browser userAgent value returned by your Web browser to the Web browser userAgent value of the latest known official version of your Web browser. If your Web browser is not the latest known official version, the JavaScript Web Browser Detection And Update Link Example reports; 1.) the name of your Web browser, 2.) that the version of your Web browser is not the latest official version, and 3.) the latest official version of your Web browser with a link to download it if available. If your Web browser is the latest known official version, the JavaScript Web Browser Detection And Update Link Example reports; 1.) the name and version of your Web browser, 2.) that the version of your Web browser is the latest official version, and 3.) that no newer official version of your Web browser is available.

  • The JavaScript Web Browser Detection And Update Link Example has the following caveats:
    • It requires a supported Web browser with JavaScript support enabled.
    • Its accuracy is dependent upon the JavaScript Web Browser Detection And Update Link Example being updated as new versions of the supported Web browsers are released.
    • It detects/reports the latest official version of the supported Web browsers, not the latest alpha, beta, or release candidate version of the supported Web browsers.
    • Since the Internet Explorer userAgent value does not include Internet Explorer Service Pack information, it does not detect/report the Internet Explorer Service Pack level.
    • Since the Opera userAgent value can be changed to mimic the userAgent value of other Web browsers, it does not detect/report Opera 9.0+ set to "Mask as Internet Explorer," Opera 9.0x set to "Mask as Mozilla," or Opera 9.1+ set to "Mask as Firefox."
  • For the Web browser userAgent values returned by the supported Web browsers, see Web Browser userAgent Values (stevestechresource.com).
