Howto detect OS & Redirect

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Mar 08.2004

I would like to create a javascript to detect what Operating System a user has and send the user to particular web page depending on whether they use Windows XP or Windows 2000 Professional.

</script>
<script language=”JavaScript”>

var OSName=”Unknown OS”;
if (navigator.appVersion.indexOf(“5.1”)!=-1);
window.location=”http://web01/index_xp.htm” ;
Else
window.location=”http://web01“;

</script>

This is what I have so far but it only goes to the first page no matter what operating system I have. What do I have wrong?

Please be gentle, I am a newbie to scripting. If there is a good resource where I can learn how to do more of this, please let me know.

thanks,

Not knowing the rest of your code I can only say:

delete the semi colon at the end of the line with the if statement and please use "else" instead of "Else"...

Cheers - Pit

As I said, I am a newbie. I have changed the case of else and removed the semi-colon and it works now.

I hope to return the favor to someone in this group sometime.

Thanks,
