In Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Netscape it always shows the browser codename as Mozilla, and the browser name as Netscape. Shouldn't this change according to the browser?

Here is the code and the different outputs, if you're interested:

CODE:

document.write("Browser CodeName: " + navigator.appCodeName);
document.write("<br /><br />");
document.write("Browser Name: " + navigator.appName);
document.write("<br /><br />");
document.write("Browser Version: " + navigator.appVersion);
document.write("<br /><br />");
document.write("Cookies Enabled: " + navigator.cookieEnabled);
document.write("<br /><br />");
document.write("Platform: " + navigator.platform);
document.write("<br /><br />");
document.write("User-agent header: " + navigator.userAgent);
