Need Advise On Browser Detection/Redirection

[rickjwilliams]

Hello, And A Happy New Year To Everyone

I have been designing my website with FrontPage. And I Test it with IE6. When I decide to test it with FireFox. Some the images were not in the same location. And the back ground music did not play.

QUESTION: Is the a common abnormality with different browsers?


So I was thinking, Well, what about browser detection, and/or redirection! So that if the visitor is using FireFox redirect to IE and open.

Am I correct in thinking this?

Would appreciate some input, and if possible, so me the code that will handle this.


Thanks in advance,

Rick

No. Just between IE and decent browsers (IE is a poor piece of software). Test in Firefox (or some other decent browser like Opera) first, then IE afterwards.

Unreliable.

So that if the visitor is using FireFox redirect to IE and open.

Am I correct in thinking this?

No. That would mean that you'd have to write and maintain two sites, which really is far more work than necessary.
