Browser redirect

Hello,

Im trying to use the script because one of the pages on my site isnt loading properly in IE or opera, http://abelloda.co.uk/projects.htm, its only good in firefox (see attatchment).

I saved the script as redir.htm and put it in my root folder, made an /IE folder with the correct IE settings and changed this bit

//if NS 6
//if (browser_type=="Mozilla Firefox"&&browser_version>=5)
//window.location.replace("http://abelloda.co.uk")
//if IE 4+

if (browser_type=="Microsoft Internet Explorer"&&browser_version>=6)
window.location.replace("http://abelloda.co.uk/IE")
//if NS4+
else if (browser_type=="Opera"&&browser_version>=8)
window.location.replace("http://abelloda.co.uk/IE")
//Default goto page (NOT NS 4+ and NOT IE 4+)
else
window.location="http://abelloda.co.uk"

Anyone got a quick clue please?

Then fix the problem. Browser detection is flawed and unreliable.

To begin the process, start by deleting that Dreamweaver-generated junk.

• The 'transition' is over: use a Strict document type.
• Neither style nor script elements should contain SGML comment declarations.
• Don't specify font sizes in pixels. Use percentages, with body text at 100%.
• Don't use Verdana.
• Class names should be semantic.
• A color property declaration should be paired with an explicit background declaration.
• Use document structure to identify elements in CSS selectors where possible, rather than excessive use of classes.
• The language attribute is deprecated for script elements. Only the type attribute is necessary.
• The blockquote element is not for indenting.
• Spacer images are abhorrent, and apparently, even the 'inventor' apologised for ever promoting them.
• That list of links should be marked up as a list.
• Use margins instead of line breaks and empty paragraphs.
