Answer 1

If you are using JQuery, then u can use the Browser plugin of Jquery.

if you are using JS but not JQuery, then can follow this example from w3schools

Answer 2

Use the HtmlPage.BrowserInformation property.

Code Example (given a TextBlock called "txtOut"):-

    txtOut.Text = String.Format("Name: {0}\nVersion: {1}\nProduct Name: {2}\nProduct Version: {3}\nUser Agent: {4}\nPlatform: {5}",
        HtmlPage.BrowserInformation.Name,
        HtmlPage.BrowserInformation.BrowserVersion,
        HtmlPage.BrowserInformation.ProductName,
        HtmlPage.BrowserInformation.ProductVersion,
        HtmlPage.BrowserInformation.UserAgent,
        HtmlPage.BrowserInformation.Platform);

I have IE 7 and Firefox 3.6.6 and it would seem that ProductName and possible ProductVersion would be you best choice to determine the browser.

If you are using Jquery or java script, then you can use navigator.appName for getting name of the browser.
