Details
(Whiteboard: csom@interface.hu)
Go to the above page under NT. The page says that Mozilla is reporting the
operating system as Windows 95. Shouldn't it be reporting itself as NT,
Windows 95, or Windows 98 as appropriate?
Vidur -- this appears to be an error in either JS or the DOM. Please take a
look.(I checked on NT)

1. WORKSFORME
I've checked the site twice (between the visits there was a reboot) and found
no bug. I visited with NS4 (hu) / win NT4 (hu) and got the following report:
"Your browser reports itself as Netscape 4.07 [hu] (WinNT; I)"
2. THE ENTIRE CODE
The html/javascript code for the entire report is this:
<p align="center">
Your browser reports itself as
<script Language="JavaScript">
<!--
{
document.write('<center><h3>');
document.write(navigator.appName);
document.write('<br>');
document.write(navigator.appVersion);
document.write('</h3></center>')
}
// -->
3.THE CODE PORTION WHERE THE BUG MIGHT APPEAR
The the code-portion where the bug appeared is this:
document.write(navigator.appVersion);
4. FURTHER TESTS
Test should be made to fix which browser versions are infected. Yet the only
thing I can imagine that its a version specific bug (maybe the OS language
version is important)

With the test below in Appruner, I get the OS reported as Win 32 rather than Win
NT. The same results are reported back under Win 95 with Apprunner (Win 32). Comm
4.6 reports back the proper OS (Win NT and Win 95). I'm not sure if this is a bug
in Apprunner.
