Javascript Problem

Hi all,

Well, I'm a total beginner in programming. I wanted some sort of script on my website that would redirect people if they used a certain browser (Firefox and Opera) and let people through if they were using Internet Explorer. (Before you guys go bashing me for doing this, it's only because my website looks horrible in Firefox and Opera.) Here's what I have so far:

Code:

<script language="javascript">
<!--
if (navigator.appName == "Mozilla Firefox") {
        document.location.replace('REDIRECTION SITE 1');
}
if (navigator.appName == "Opera") {
        document.location.replace('REDIRECTION SITE 2');
}
else { 
        document.write('<!--IE-->')
}
// -->
</script>

The script works perfectly in Internet Explorer and Opera, but has no effect in Firefox. I've heard that using navigator.appName is a bad way of detecting what broswer the user is using, but I don't know any other ways. Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks!

 

Hi

remove Mozilla from the script, ypu only need ("Firefox")

it should work

 

but i should use:

if(navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Firefox") != -1)
{
window.location = "page one here";
}
else
{
window.location = "page two here";
}

 

Thanks for the help, guys.

But I got it to work by replacing "Mozilla Firefox" with "Netscape", since, for some reason, "Netscape" is used as Firefox's appName string.
