A DOMString
.
Example
<script> function prod() { dt = document.getElementById('d'); dt.innerHTML = window.navigator.product; } </script> <button onclick="prod();">product</button> <div id="d"> </div> <!-- returns "Gecko" -->
Notes
In Gecko-based browsers the product
matches the portion of the full user agent string that comes directly after the platform. In the user agent for Netscape 6.1, for example, the product is "Gecko
" and the full agent string is the following: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9.2) Gecko/20010725 Netscape6/6.1
.
In WebKit-based browsers the product
is returned as "Gecko
" even though the portion of the full user agent string directly after the platform is actually the following: (KHTML, like Gecko)
.
