JSCRIPT Browser Check

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Dec 12.2002

Can someone help with the code to do a browser check in JS. Here is my problem I have a webpage on my website (on an intranet) that needs to be viewed in IE. So I want to do a browser check that will do nothing if IE is being used. If Netscape is being used I want it to open a new window with IE, to the same web page. If possible I would like it to also close the netscape window. If that is not possible then I would like a message window to tell the user to use IE. Thanks for the help….

First. you can not execute programs from javascript. Therefore you can not open explorer from netscape.

Second, why don't you design your site to standards not browser, huh?

@hfraserDec 13.2002 — the best thing i can say is that the end-user will view your page in what ever he

chooses! and that if this page is so important you should work on it to be cross

browser compatible!
