ASP.Net browser capabilities
-
I was wondering if we could use Asp.Net to query a users browser that is displaying an ASP.Net page. Now I know for a fact that using either client side Java Script or even the browser object in ASP.Net, we could figure out the type of browser a user is using. What I need to know if it's possible to know what other software the user may have installed on their machine (such as some assitive technology software such as screen readers). I called the manufacturer for one of such screen readers and although they agreed that they work with the browser to use their product, they don't provide any information that we could query from the browser which will reveal the whether the AT product is on the users box or not. Thanks
