you can use javascript properties :
navigator.appName and navigator.appVersion (and why not navigator.platfrom)

but there is a more common way :

checking browser capabilities, for example :

   var ie = (document.all) ? true : false;
   var ne = (document.layers) ? true : false;
   var ns6 = (document.getElementById) ? true : false; // for IE55, nS6 = true

Then use

if (ne) document.url=xx
else if (ie) document.url= yy
else if (ns6) document.url= zz // test ie before ns6 !
