how to detect browser type 1

[Jeet2004]

what i need to do this if a user is using non IE browser then direct him to a different page with a message that they are not using IE so cant use the website and if they are using IE then show them different page.

I dont know how to detect the browser.

Thanks for your help

<%
dim strUA
strUA = Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_USER_AGENT")
If InStr(strUA, "MSIE") Then
response.redirect "desiredpage.asp"

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Javascript">
alert("<% ="Your web browser is not compatible with the website." %>")
</SCRIPT>

Another possibility is to use an object that is (was?) built in for these purposes. You may need to update the browscap.ini file to include more recent matches, but I managed to find an article that not only describes the process but also provides a link and info on updating your browscap.ini file.

Another site I have used in the past for up to date browscap files is here:
