I just set up a cool dhtml menu using Thomas Bratti's "slider menu", but something went wrong and now my page looks all wacked out on netscape 4-6. *sigh*. Is there a script out there that says : if netscape = go to this page, if ie, go to this page? That would probably make life a bit easier....

Here's mine:

code:
// Browser Detection Script copyright © Cameron T Owen, AKA Dracusis.

// Email cameron@NOSPAM.whatever.net.au



function userIs() {



	// Inter-Function Pointers

	d = document; n = navigator

	a = n.userAgent.toLowerCase()	



	// General

	this.dom = (d.getElementById)? 1:0	// Document Object Model

	this.all = (d.all)? 1:0		// Document All (Internet Explorer)

	this.lyr = (d.layers)? 1:0		// Document Layers (Netscape 4)

	this.jav = (n.javaEnabled())? 1:0	// Java

	this.cke = (d.cookie)? 1:0		// Cookies

	this.img = (d.images)? 1:0		// Images

	

	// Specific

	this.aol	= (a.indexOf('aol')!=-1)? 1:0							// AOL

	this.op		= (a.indexOf('opera')!=-1)? 1:0 					// Opera

	this.op4	= ((a.indexOf('opera 4')!=-1)&#0124; &#0124;(a.indexOf('opera/4')!=-1))? 1:0			// ^4

	this.op5	= ((a.indexOf('opera 5')!=-1)&#0124; &#0124;(a.indexOf('opera/5')!=-1))? 1:0			// ^5

	this.op6	= ((a.indexOf('opera 6')!=-1)&#0124; &#0124;(a.indexOf('opera/6')!=-1))? 1:0			// ^6

	this.op5up	= (this.op && this.op5 &#0124; &#0124; this.op6 && !this.op3 && !this.op4)? 1:0		// Opera 5 & Up

	this.op6up	= (this.op && this.op6 && !this.op3 && !this.op4 && !this.op5)		// Opera 6 & Up

	this.ie		= ((a.indexOf('msie')!=-1) && !this.op)? 1:0				// Internet Explorer

	this.ie4	= ((a.indexOf('msie 4')!=-1) && this.ie)? 1:0					// ^4

	this.ie5	= ((a.indexOf('msie 5')!=-1) && this.ie)? 1:0					// ^5

	this.ie55	= ((a.indexOf('msie 5.5')!=-1) && this.ie)? 1:0					// ^5.5

	this.ie6	= ((a.indexOf('msie 6')!=-1) && this.ie)? 1:0					// ^6

	this.ie4up  = (this.ie4 && !this.ie3)? 1:0						// ^4+

	this.ie5up	= (this.ie5 &#0124; &#0124; this.ie55 &#0124; &#0124; this.ie6 && !this.ie4 && !this.ie3)? 1:0		// ^5+

	this.ie55up	= (this.ie55 &#0124; &#0124; this.ie6 && !this.ie5 && !this.ie4 && !this.ie3)? 1:0		// ^5.5+

	this.ie6up	= (this.ie6 && !this.ie55 && !this.ie5 && !this.ie4 && !this.ie3)? 1:0		// ^6+

	this.ns		= ((a.indexOf('mozilla')!=-1) && !this.aol && !this.op && !this.ie)? 1:0	// Netscape

	this.ns4	= (this.ns && d.layers && !this.dom)? 1:0					// ^4

	this.ns6	= (this.ns && this.dom)? 1:0							// ^6 or Mozilla

	return this

}



Then you create an object like:

user = new userIs()

then you can use:

if (user.ie4up) location = "blah.html"...
if (user.nn4) location = "blah.html"...
if (user.moz) location = "blah.html"...
if (user.op) location = "blah.html"...

and so on and so on.

But if you only want IE vrs NN and Mozilla then just use this:

location = (document.all)? "page1.html" : "page2.html"

Oh, and remember to strip out the spaces between each or operator "&#0124; &#0124;" as the UBB will add a space between them.

just to be picky, i think the correct call would be:

if (user.ie4up) location.href = "blah.html"...

I'm afraid I'm a bit of a javascript newbie. I tried copying and pasting your script, but I just got one big comment. I don't know what to put where....


but here is what I do have

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">

<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled</title>
<script>
d = document; n = navigator a = n.userAgent.toLowerCase()

this.dom = (d.getElementById)? 1:0
this.all = (d.all)? 1:0
this.lyr = (d.layers)? 1:0
this.jav = (n.javaEnabled())? 1:0
this.cke = (d.cookie)? 1:0
this.img = (d.images)? 1:0

this.aol = (a.indexOf('aol')!=-1)? 1:0
this.op = (a.indexOf('opera')!=-1)? 1:0
this.op4 = ((a.indexOf('opera 4')!=-1)

you sure that when you copied and pasted drac's script you didn't paste it as one long line?

Windows has a tendency to paste stuff you copy as one long line. This causes a problem because the '//'s in the script define everything that follows on the same line as a comment- and if you're pasting everything as one line...

{edit} duh... I totally missed the obvious...
on YOUR script, you end the function like this:

--------------------------------------
return this
}
--------------------------------------

but where did you begin it?

btw, what's the JS error you're getting?
