Hi Santhakumar,
Try this Example and Tell me How use full was it.
<html>
<script language="javascript">

// Returns the browser application name
// for example, "Microsoft Internet Explorer" or "Netscape"
document.write(window.navigator.appName);

// Returns the internal code name of the browser
// for example, "Mozilla"
document.write(window.navigator.appCodeName);

// Returns the version of the browser as a string
document.write(window.navigator.appVersion);

// Returns the user agent string for the browser
document.write(window.navigator.userAgent);

</script>
</html>

Thanks With Advance
L.Srikumar

Using appVersion with indexOf
<html>
<script language="javascript">
// Fork for IE 5.5
if(window.navigator.appVersion.indexOf("IE 5.5")!= -1) {
document.write("Internet Explorer 5.5") }
// Fork for IE 6.0
if(window.navigator.appVersion.indexOf("IE 6.0")!= -1) {
document.write("Internet Explorer 6.0") }
</script>
</html>
For example, appVersion in Internet Explorer 6.0 returns the text 4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705). At first sight, this text does not clearly represent the specific browser version. Yet, the version number can be extracted using the built-in JavaScript function indexOf. Using this function with appVersion, you can search for the text 6.0, or 5.5, to distinguish among different Internet Explorer versions, as illustrated in Listing 2. If indexOf does not find a character match, it will return a value of -1.
