Afternoon all.

Just completed browser testing for my works new website. works well.

 

Any guess's which one doesnt support the design at all..

 

INTERNET EXPLORER 6 & 7

 

so, im not going to design the site for these browsers.

I want to put something in that detects the browser, and tells the end user to upgrade.

 

Can i have some suggestions please.

 

Thanks

Craig

Are you using jQuery on the site already?

 

If so:

 

if ($.browser.msie && $.browser.version < {
 // Whatever you want to happen
 alert("Get a real browser.");
}

Loved the "Get a real browser" brilliant. Plus one!

Thank you.

 

If i wanted then to redirect them to an index2.html where i can store a basic template for my site with contact details on how would i do that, once they click ok?

 

Thanks

if ($.browser.msie && $.browser.version < {
 if (confirm("You're using an old version of IE. Press Ok to view my contact details, or cancel to upgrade your browser.")){
   window.location = 'http://yourwebsite.com/index2.html';
 } else {
   //Do something else
   window.location = 'http://google.com/chrome';
 }
}

Great. cheers mate.

No probs.

No probs.

 

 

The second string didnt work. just loaded the normal site in a messed up way,

scratch that it was my error.

Phew

coming back to this i think i want to remove the alert and just redirect

if ($.browser.msie && $.browser.version < {
 // Whatever you want to happen
location('browsererror.html');
}

 

Is that right?

just incase anyone is wondering;

 

	<script type="text/javascript">

if ($.browser.msie && $.browser.version < {
 // Whatever you want to happen
 window.location = 'http://www.arporter.co.uk/browsererror.html';

}
</script>

You could use a conditional comment for lt IE 8 (less than IE8) and a class style that is inside the cc and also in your main styesheet with display: none; and message text with that class in the body markup, then no javascript is used (but it won't redirect unless you have a link in the text).
