Q115 Do you know how I can detect the users choice in the "preferred language", in Netscape Communicators preferences?

I'm not sure if this detects the "preferred langauge" but in Netscape Navigator version 4 and Microsoft Internet Explorer version 4 you can do:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript1.2"><!--
if (navigator.appName == 'Netscape')
    var language = navigator.language;
else
    var language = navigator.browserLanguage;
//--></SCRIPT>
