Re: Need advice on reliable way to identify IE asthe browser

Yep - you interpreted my needs just right.

This way if ActiveX is supported with this object type, we're good to go - otherwise I have the alternative code path.

As I've read about browser determination, the direction seems to go toward functional determination instead - so I like this a lot.

Reagrds and thanks to all

I agree, Alfredo has a more elegant design until someone builds a
plugin that will run ActiveX in other browsers.
Then things will get ugly...

But the whole point of the OP request probably wasn't to target IE
specifically, but to target browsers that support activex. So if FF was
to add activex support then I would imagine the OP would want to use
activex in FF.
