Sometimes, you need to find the Browser in which an applet is loaded. This small bit of code can do the job:
public void getBrowserInfo(){ String vendor = System.getProperty("java.vendor.url").toLowerCase(); browser = UNKNOWN_BROWSER; if(vendor.indexOf("www.microsoft.com") != -1) browser = IE; if(vendor.indexOf("java.sun.com") != -1) browser = NS6; if(vendor.indexOf("home.netscape.com") != -1) browser = NS47;}
