Have asked this on the 'how do I do that?' board. View the thread here: http://www.webdesignerforum.co.uk/topic/29749-target-a-pc-with-csshtml/.

 

Basically I want to detect the operation system and redirect if it is windows, and do nothing (stay on the homepage) if mac.

 

I found this code below that detects the OS but have no idea about javascript and how to change it to redirect code.

 

Can anyone help?

 

// This script sets OSName variable as follows:
// "Windows"    for all versions of Windows
// "MacOS"      for all versions of Macintosh OS
// "Linux"      for all versions of Linux
// "UNIX"       for all other UNIX flavors 
// "Unknown OS" indicates failure to detect the OS

var OSName="Unknown OS";
if (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("Win")!=-1) OSName="Windows";
if (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("Mac")!=-1) OSName="MacOS";
if (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("X11")!=-1) OSName="UNIX";
if (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("Linux")!=-1) OSName="Linux";

document.write('Your OS: '+OSName);

if (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("Linux")!=-1) OSName="Linux";

if (OSName == "Windows") {
window.location = "http://www.yoururl.com"
};

 

Try this. I don't do much vanilla javascript, just jQuery. But try it and see if it works.

thanks but i got it sorted in the end
