GeckoActiveXObject == 'undefined' for NS 7.1

[scott simpson]

ns 7.1 on win2k:

i am trying to sniff out the (ax) version of the NS browsers and am
not having any luck. both of the following alert 'undefined':

alert('GeckoAct iveXObject=' + typeof GeckoActiveXObj ect);
alert('GeckoAct iveXObject=' + window.GeckoAct iveXObject);

it seems very straight forward but the results are puzzling. has
anyone had this same issue? thoughts/suggestions?

cheers...

Testing with Mozilla 1.5 on WinXP I get the expected "function" on the
first. The second throws an error because Mozilla cannot cast an object to a
primitive type.

Changing it into:
alert('GeckoAct iveXObject=' + (window.GeckoAc tiveXObject ? 1 : 0) );

fixed this.

That sounds silly when you read it back... I meant that the
window.GeckoAct iveX function couldn't be converted for displaying in the
alert box.
