The navigator.appName property is used to retrieve the name of the user's browser. A condition has been set up to test whether the Browser in use is Microsoft Internet Explorer. Two different welcome pages have been created - one for Microsoft Internet Explorer and another for Netscape Navigator. If the condition is true, then the user is bounced to the Microsoft Internet Explorer version of the page; if false, then the Netscape Navigator version of the page is loaded.

Some other useful properties of the navigator object include: appVersion and platform. Check out Netscape's on-line JavaScript Reference for a complete list of properties (see "Javascipt Links").

It is important to note the difference between the = operator, and the = = operator. The = operator is used for assignment, e.g. window.location is assigned a new URL ("msie.html"). The = = operator is used to indicate equivalency.
