Detect browser

Is there a script where I can do like

If Browser is IE6 or Lower then goto a page that says you need to update
or if browser is ie7+ or Firefox then load the site?

Thanks

JS or PHP.

If you mean, when you load the page - if it detects it's ie6 then it shows /upgrade.php or whatever?

There will be one somewhere.

Dont do that "/ You will honestly loose a lot of visitors. Make your coding cross browser rather than just blocking them out

I would advise you not to do that as alot of people don't use legal versions of windows which means they can't upgrade to IE 7 and don't want to download a different browser ie. Firefox.

Well then how do I get ie6 to display http://robbiegray.info/layout properly

certainly

Code:

<html>
<script>
if(navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Firefox") != -1)
{
   window.location = "browser/firefox.html";
}
else if(navigator.userAgent.indexOf("MSIE") != -1)
{
   window.location = "main.php";
}
else if(navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Netscape") != -1)
{
   window.location = "main.php";
}
else
{
   window.location = "browser/other.html";
}
</script>
</html>
