Re: Browser sensitive page direction

<script language="javascript">
// set variables to true or false by setting vendor specific objects
var IE4 = document.all;
var NN4 = document.layers;
// redirect
if (IE4) {
window.location.replace("ie_page.html");
}
if (NN4) {
window.location.replace("nn_page.html");
}
/* users with old browsers or javascript shut off should stay on same page
which usually is better than trying to redirect the lesser browsers
*/
</script>

I usually just write code that degrades nicely instead of redirecting so I
haven't
written a script like this for a while but I hope this points you in the
right direction.
