<DIV><SPAN class=421492916-16072007><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=421492916-16072007><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

of some reliable piece of software which does this same sort of thing, but maybe
cheaper?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
