I have a database that when searched lists users. When you select a user, the profile page opens in a new window. There's problems with the page in Netscape so i want to have two. I need the browser the user is using to be detected then sent to the correct profile page.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.

this was modified from a1 javascripts. You can modify it a bit to suit your needs.


<html><head>
<Script>
function jump(){
<!-- A1 Javascripts-http://www.A1javascripts.com --><!--
if (document.all) {//IE4,5
loc = 'Your-IE4,5-choice.html'
}else if (document.layers){ //NS4
loc = 'Your-NS4-choice.html'
}else if (document.getElementById){ //NS5
loc = 'Your NS5 Choice.html'
}else if (document.images){ //NS3,IE4
loc = 'Your-NS3,IE4-choice.html'
}else{ //NS2,IE3
loc = 'Your-NS2,IE3-choice.html'
}
win = window.open(loc, "dep", "height=600,width=800", hotkeys="no", toolbars="no", resize="no");
//-->
}
</Script>
</head><body>
<form name=form1>
<input type=button value="jump to correct browser page" onClick="jump();">
</form>
</body>
</html>

I'm having trouble applying that.
So far, i have the following..

function redirect() {
if (navigator.appName.indexOf("Netscape") >=0) location.href="itc_detail2.lasso?user=[field:'username']";
}

How do i call the function correctly from my hyperlink...

<a href="/itc_detail.lasso?user=[field:'username']" target="_blank">
[field:'username']</a>

Thanks again.

<a href="WHATEVER" onclick="return redirect()">

...hopefully.

Unfortunately that's not working. When i run the page in Netscape, i'm taken to detail.lasso, not detail2.lasso as i want to be if Netscape.

Any other ideas?

the code your using does not look like what I gave you. Heres the code, modified for a hyperlink. Also, I tested it on IE and Netscape 4.7.... worked like a charm.


<html><head>
<Script>
function jump(){
<!-- A1 Javascripts-http://www.A1javascripts.com --><!--
if (document.all) {//IE4,5
loc = 'Your-IE4,5-choice.html'
}else if (document.layers){ //NS4
loc = 'Your-NS4-choice.html'
}else if (document.getElementById){ //NS5
loc = 'Your NS5 Choice.html'
}else if (document.images){ //NS3,IE4
loc = 'Your-NS3,IE4-choice.html'
}else{ //NS2,IE3
loc = 'Your-NS2,IE3-choice.html'
}
win = window.open(loc, "dep", "height=600,width=800", hotkeys="no", toolbars="no", resize="no");
//-->
}
</Script>
</head><body>
<form name=form1>
<a href="#" onClick="jump()">Click here!</a>
</form>
</body>
</html>

Sorry Dr Web, it's just not going to work, my code is too complex, i was able to lose our databse code, lasso and place it at the top of the target page...

[variable_set:'detail2'=(string_concatenate:'http://www.inthecredits.com/itc_detail2.lasso?user=',(form_param:'user'))]
[if:(string_findposition:find='MSIE',(client_type))<0] [redirect_url:(variable:'detail2')]
[else]

Seems to work fine and no more headaches.
