Is there a snippet, or some other way, that I can do a browser check on my splash screen?
Basically if someone is using Internet Explorer, I want to redirect to a page that says, "Sorry, this site only works with Firefox or Safari" !
Thanks!
Here is a javascript that does the job:

But remember, there are still a couple of MSIE users out there.
I think, thererfor I am! But what I am, and why...?

You also might want to keep in mind that a lot of non-IE users have their browsers configured to report themselves as IE to avoid being blocked in sites that check for the browser.

You should also test aginst MSIE. Code taken from the example I gave you:
{
string: navigator.userAgent,
subString: "MSIE",
identity: "Explorer",
versionSearch: "MSIE"
}:)

<!--[if IE]>
Anything you want here -- other browsers will ignore it.
<![endif]-->
Hmmm.. It blew me off in FF3.
This is the format:
<!--[if expression]> HTML <![endif]-->
If you pasted directly from the code I posted, it should work. I took it from a working site.
I hate MS just as much as the next guy, but Just out of curiosity, what’s your motivation for blowing off over 50% of your potential visitors?
