Detecting browser type

[drumin]

I'm looking to develop a piece of script which will determine the browser type of the user. Once this has been determined the user will be directed to the respective page.

Users with Mac/Netscape/IE 5 and under will go to one page

Users with IE 5.01 and over will go to another.

This needs to be seemless.

Any help appreciated!

Thanks!

I came across this script online it works and maybe you can use it also:

browserName = navigator.appName;
browserVer = parseInt(navigator.appVersion);
if (browserName == "Netscape" && browserVer >= 4 || browserName ==
"Microsoft Internet Explorer" && browserVer >= 4)
version = "1";
else if (browserName == "Netscape" && browserVer >= 3)
version = "2";
else
version = "3";
if (version == "1") {
var correctwidth=1024
var correctheight=768
if (screen.width<correctwidth||screen.height<correctheight)
location=&quot;PAGE_FOR_LOW_SIZE.htm&quot;
else
location=&quot;PAGE_FOR_HIGH_SIZE.htm&quot;
}
if (version == &quot;2&quot;) {
var toolkit = java.awt.Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
var screen_size = toolkit.getScreenSize();
var correctwidth=800
var correctheight=600
if (screen_size.width<correctwidth||screen_size.height<correctheight)
location=&quot;PAGE_FOR_LOW_SIZE.htm&quot;
else
location=&quot;PAGE_FOR_HIGH_SIZE.htm&quot;
}
if (version == &quot;3&quot;)
location=&quot;DEFAULT_PAGE.htm&quot;
</SCRIPT>

I have not failed; I merely found 100,000 different ways of not succeding...
