My
company currently uses a product called BrowserHawk, a combination
of _javascript_ and Java files, to get a set of user data which we then
store in our database. Currently this data set includes Flash player
version, OS, Browser (and version), Screen Res, and more. The drawback
is that this software is expensive, around $1000 per server (we have 3
right now), and we're not fully using the data it provides to us anyway.
I
know that jQuery core can provide browser (and version?), and I also
know that you can get screen res with the dimensions plugin. I'm
wondering if anyone has considered writing a jQuery plugin which mimics
this behavior, returning an object containing user agent information.
Alternately,
does anyone know of some reliable piece of software which does this
same sort of thing, but maybe cheaper?
Thanks
for the input.
