Name

navigator — NN n/a IE 4 DOM n/a

Synopsis

Read-only

Returns a reference to the navigator object. Internet Explorer treats the navigator object as a property of the window, even though the scope of the navigator object transcends all windows or frames currently existing in the browser. Since the window reference is optional, syntax without the window reference works on Internet Explorer and Navigator.

Example

var theBrowser = navigator.appName

Value

Object reference.

Default

navigator object.
