Hi i am looking for a code that can check the browser and version of a visitor.
Based on the outcome it should direct it to the HTML5 supported website otherwise the code needs to direct the user to annon compliant website.

This is my code, but it's not working:

XML

<html>
  <head>
  <title>Browser detection</Title>
  <Script Language="JavaScript">
  // Detect the browsername
    browsername=navigator.appName;
    if (browsername.indexOf("Netscape")!=-1) {browsername="NS"}
    else
    {
      if (browsername.indexOf("Microsoft")!=-1) {browsername="MSIE"}
      else {browsername="N/A"}
    };

    //detect the browserversion
    browserversion="0";
    if (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("2.")!=-1) {browserversion="2"};
    if (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("3.")!=-1) {browserversion="3"};
    if (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("4.")!=-1) {browserversion="4"};
    if (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("5.")!=-1) {browserversion="5"};
    if (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("6.")!=-1) {browserversion="6"};

    // Send visitor to relevant pages
    if (browsername=="NS") {window.location="http://www.yahoo.com"};
    if (browsername=="MSIE"){
      if (browserversion<4){window.location="http://www.hotbot.com"}
      else {window.location="http://www.msn.com"}
    }
    if (browsername=="N/A") {window.location="http://www.webcrawler.com"};
  </script>
  </head>
  <body>
  </body>
</html>

Thanks a lot!

This isn't a question. Are you wanting someone to write the code for you? I doubt anyone will do that for you here.

Solution 3

Use modernizr[^] instead.

Quote:
Modernizr is a JavaScript library that detects HTML5 and CSS3 features in the user’s browser.
