Hi Jenny,



This is interesting, there are two Lectora Reserved Variables, BrowserType and Platform. Personally, both of them gave me the same results so the Platform doesn't work.



For example, on an iPad, both of them returned "Netscape" when using Safari. On a PC, with Internet Explorer it'll say "Microsoft Internet Explorer". On a PC using Chrome, it'll say "Netscape". On a PC using FireFox it'll say "Netscape".



I think your better off using JavaScript to determine the platform/OS.
