How To Detect Specific Browser And Then Redirect

Dec 4, 2006

Basically, I need a browser detection script that will detect what version of what browser the user is reading. My site works with IE 5.5SP2 and up, Netscape 7.2 and up, Opera 7.1 and up, and Firefox 1.0 and up (have not tested on any Mac browsers).

What I want the script to do is once it's detected a version of one of these browsers or higher, to continue loading the page. If it detects a lower version, or any other browser, I want it to direct users to a page telling them they are using an old or untested browser, where I have links to update the tested browsers and a link to continue to the site anyways

I have tried a couple scripts, but they only partially work. The one below seems to work so far for the two browsers I can test on (It goes to the good page for IE 6 and the bad page for NS 4.79 (I added Firefox and Opera myself, so I don't know if it works).

browser = navigator.appName
ver = navigator.appVersion
version = ver.substring(0,1)
if (browser=="Internet Explorer") {
if (version<="5.5")
document.location.href="index2.html"
}
if (browser=="Netscape") {
if (version<="7.2")
document.location.href="index2.html"
}
if (browser=="Firefox") {
if (version<="1.0")
document.location.href="index2.html"
}
if (browser=="Opera") {
if (version<="7.1")
document.location.href="index2.html"
}

How do I specify that IE 5.5 has to be 5.5 SP2? And how do I specify that every other browser in the universe except those lined out above in the code has to go to index2.html? I don't know how to specify that Safari has to go to index2.html while Netscape 8 doesn't.

Browser Detect To Load Specific Code For Specific Browsers?

Oct 6, 2009

Another thing that has been driving me crazy is that css positioning is handled differently by different browsers. JS is not my area, but I can do a lot with CSS, and I do, but cross browser compatibility is killing me.

I can use an IF IE statement and only IE runs that segment of code, but I haven't been able to figure out out how to make ONLY firefox or ONLY opera or safari enact an encapsulated segment of code. The same type of IF statement doesn't work for them.

Is there a single method using JS that works for all browsers?

Detect IE6 Only And Redirect?

Sep 14, 2009

Working on the basis that MOST Internet users to visit the site I have built, have IE6 or later, I would like to add a browser-detect capability that ONLY focuses on IE6 and sends the user straight away to the alternative page. If using a browser older than IE6 neither the real page, nor the alternative, will work anyway, so it doesn't matter which one fails for them. I've lost my Javascript book (shoot me in the head!) and trying to find browser detect code online, I keep finding massive reams of code where the intention is to detect exactly which browser is being used. I'm not bothered, unless its IE6.

The site works fine in Opera, Firefox and IE8, I had to tweak it slightly to work fine in IE7, but for IE6 it would completely ruin the feel of the site for everyone else if I were to tweak the main site. So, please if someone could paste the code that would say "If user's browser is IE6, then auto-redirect to this page",

Detect Connection Speed And Redirect?

Nov 17, 2010

In the home page (index.html) i have a flash intro. The first time a user sees the website, the intro should play. Once he goes to another page (about_us or contact_us) and comes back to the home page, it should show a different swf (the version without the intro) - i have created two swf files. I need to know how to change them when the user has already seen the intro or was in the home page before. When i googled, i found something on cookies. I have no clue on how to set them and change the swf file.

JQuery :: Use Specific Css File Depending On Browser And Browser Version

Sep 18, 2010

On my site i use a lot of features that are unsupported by older browsers, and right now it looks pretty stupid when the features are only partially shown. So i was wondering if there's a way of making the browser look to different css files depending on which browser and version it is. For example, css3 gradient backgrounds are supported in firefox 3.6 or something, but not in 3.0. All the hacks out there is to 3.*, so it changes for the allready working 3.6 too if i hack it. I want to controll it so that i have a specific css file for the none-supporting version and lower and one for the supporting and above. I looked at a bad browser plugin (because it has some of the basic features im looking for)

Browser Redirect For IE 5 Not Working?

Feb 12, 2010

This script is supposed to redirect IE 5 to a page on my site. However, the code is not doing the redirect part. Take a look:

/*******************************************************************************
OLDIE - or Old IE. A script that finds the version of IE you're using,
and redirects if lower than the set parameter.
[[ Created by Ryan McLaughlin, www.DaoByDesign.com ]]
*******************************************************************************/
var browser= navigator.appName
var ver= navigator.appVersion

[Code].....

I also would like to point out that the code belongs in a .js file. NOT <script type="javascript".........

Script To Redirect Certain Browser Users?

Oct 17, 2011

Is there a script that would direct Opera users past the front page of a web site (that uses flash) to the home page? For instance, a site I'm building as a favor to a church has a flash intro page that is fine with every browser but Opera. (Opera doesn't respond to Autoplay but places a large "Play" button where the flash is located.) On this particular page, the flash movie ends with an "Enter" instruction and is a hyperlink to the "home" page, so if an Opera user clicks that button, they're still not going to see the flash but are going to arrive at the "home" page. Is there a way to not even present them with the flash page, but to send them straight to the home page?

Browser Version/redirect/politely!!

Aug 14, 2001

I've been to sites where they've got a script that bounces me out 'cause I don't use IE. That always leaves me feeling ruffled and having a door slammed in my face.

I've been looking around and can't find a script that detects the following:

First visit popup
Browser Version
JavaScript Enabled
(Connection type would be useful like 56k minimum)

It opens in a new window, gives the "option to continue"
(click continue, closes window)
Click "Cancel" would politely bounce them back from where ever they came from as well as closing the little window.

Am I dreaming?

Simple Browser Detect

Jul 20, 2005

I've seen plenty of browser detection scripts but they all seem to be slightly different and don't really fit my needs. I have various places where if the browser is IE I'd like to display [this html code] else [display this]. For example, if a browser is IE I want to use this CSS file
otherwise use a different one and if it's IE make this cell x pixels high else make it y pixels high. I'm sure this is easy ....
