Guest -> Explorer/Navigator problem (4/1/2001 16:28:00)

I have a website that uses SSI to display pictures and captions <http://www.d.umn.edu/~ewestman/orch/day1.shtml>. It looks good in Explorer, but Netscape screws up the table format.

I would like to have two formats to display the pictures - one for IE, the other for NN. Is there any slick way to detect what browser is being used to look at your site, and then change SSIs to accomodate that? I don't need a terribly detailed answer - if someone could just point me in the right direction I would be appreciative. Thanks.

You can use a script to detect the browser and display a page for it and just call whatever SSI works for that browser.
Here's a really simple script, it doesn't look for versions just NN or IE

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

app = navigator.appName
if (app == 'Netscape'){
parent.location="Netscape.html"
}
else if (app == 'Microsoft Internet Explorer'){
parent.location="IExplorer.html"
}
</SCRIPT>

Thank you, that worked. One question though. When I use this code, after the browser is redirected it pops out of the frame that it was in and displays full-screen. Is there any way to keep it on the frame?

Thanks again.

Frames? Well, I won't go into all the obvious reasons not to use frames here - just make each browser specific page (Netscape.html & IExploer.html in the example above) a frameset...
