Total n00b question - browser sniffer help!
Hi All.
My website looks great on Firefox, Chrome, and Safari, but on IE everything looks all jacked up. I've been told that I can use jquery to sniff out the browser and return a message to people using IE that my site is not optimized for that browser.
I have absolutely NO clue how to go about doing that. My site is www.alecbrownstein.com and I asked a web savvy friend, and he said that this code is what I need:
within a java script script tag...
if (!
$.browser.msie){
window.location="nextpage.
html";
}
so if ms_ie is false, redirect
A better solution would be to do it in php so the user doesn't even see a flicker, but this should work.
ms_ie==true, show splash, else window.location="nextpage.html"
I don't know what any of this means or even where I would copy this code. I recently figured out how to edit the different PHP files so I could add links to the sidebar, but that's sort of the extent of my knowledge. My main goal is to NOT screw up my site.
Help???
Thanks in advance,
Alec
