[thelist] Re: Site Review please - TruGreen.com (Netscape 4.x)

[Michael Harrington]

Go to www.yell.com with an out-of-date browser and you are redirected to another page (http://www.yell.com/home_old_browsers.html) that tells you that you need to upgrade your browser. I use it on
my Web site as well. One line of javascript code for the detection.

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">
<!--
if ((((navigator.appName=="Microsoft Internet Explorer")&&(parseInt(navigator.appVersion.split('
')[3])<5))||((navigator.appName=="Netscape")&&(parseInt(navigator.appVersion)<5)))&&(document.cookie.indexOf("browserType=poor")==-1)){window.location = "old_browsers.htm";}
//-->
</script>
