Okay, fair enough. I guess I'm just particularly sensitive to this kind of
thing because my computer at work runs linux and I'm fed up of being told
what browser I should be using!

I can understand why there is a need to work to a spec - obviously you
can't spend all day checking your site in everything down to Netscape 2
when you've got sites to build. Having said that I can't resist one little
comment:

You may have more Opera visitors than you think. The default user-agent
string Opera sends is very similar to MSIE5. If you want to identify as
Opera you have to change it in the preferences. This is because
people often write javascript code that uses the user-agent string rather
than support of the object to conditionally serve different code.

To fix the redirect, try changing:

top.location="http://www.2cs.com/"

to:

top.location.href="http://www.2cs.com/"
