hey guys,
i got one question
why does IE return "mozilla" as an answer when the following is written in javascript
alert(navigator.appCodeName);

All major browsers also return mozilla .....let me know

Thanks
Ashish

That's super weird but yes, you are right.

For all you at home, just type this into the URL bar:

javascript:alert(navigator.appCodeName);

But is there no reason why all browsers have used the code name "mozilla' when their rival's name incidentally is the same ;)
