Re: Browser check code wo'nt work on Mac

i have always found it safer to check if the name is IN the appName string, 
not if it IS the appName string. if the browser puts any other info into the 
appName string, your test will fail. also, its always a good idea to have 
the default option covered even if you dont expect it to be followed. there 
are other browsers out there ya know. try this:

Name = navigator.appName;
if(Name.indexOf("Netscape")!=-1)
    {window.location = "kontakt_nav.html";}
else if(Name.indexOf("Microsoft")!=-1)
    {window.location = "kontakt_ie.html";}
else
    {window.location = "kontakt_default.html";}
