Hye all,

How do i can block/denied Firefox browser/etc browser user to visit my website? I only want fully 100% Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) web browser only can visit my web site. This is because my web site is design just for IE. Can someone give me any referrer URL/website for this issue? It will be nice if someone can including with a coding/programming to do this.

Thanxs

I don't believe you can do that...

Yes i do a long time ago but i forget and lost that script since my hard disk was dead. That day i use that script to denied all of PC-base browser from viewing my mobile/wap web site. Anyone can help?, i need ASPX script.

This is browser string which that info can help to identify which browser to denied/allow.

Totally wrong.

See http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.get-browser.php for what will help you.

WHY would you do such a thing ? It's utterly ridiculous, not to mention RUDE beyond belief!! You have no right to dictate to anyone which browser to use, you'll just drive people away. Then, what about those people using OTHER browsers, like Linux and MAC users ?? People like me (and I'm hardly alone) will just go elsewhere rather than be forced to use THAT browser.

IMO, this is a case of a person who is unwilling to learn about cross-browser compatibility and putting forth the effort to make sites work in more than the one least standards-compliant browser

Amen LadynRed. I too just leave sites unless I can't b/c it's paying a CC bill.

Very well said!

It's not rude - just dumb. It's his site, he can code it any way he likes, even puke green text on a puke green background. It would be sort of like if I said "You're all invited to have dinner at my house - but I'll be playing Yngwie Malmsteen at full volume."

In your page load event, add something like

if(!UserAgent.Contains("MSIE"))
Response.Redirect("http://www.google.com");

This is going to have the effect of sending ~30 % of your traffic away.

Oh.. in my book it's definitely rude to deliberately alienate so many people.

I'm on your wavelength, LadynRed. Moving people away from your site because of your browser is wrong. I'd rather have someone see my site even if it doesn't look 100% correct. But then again, you are the admin and have the right to do whatever you like. But here at wemaster-talk, we are clever webmasters who give advice to others of what to do.

For now xdefconx try to use the scripts already supplied in the previous posts. My tip to you is to implement the piece of code (script) and while that is up, work really hard. You should work to make your site cross-browser compliant. Trust me, you don't want to lose SO much traffic. From my experience, 40% of my users are non-IE users. Obviously, that's too much traffic to lose.

So I don't want to insult your intelligence and call you stupid (not thinking about it before) but I say use the script and then make your site viewable on all major browsers.

Good Luck.

I see your point red lady, but there are always gonna be folk that wanna do their own thing. Problem is that you cant have a help forum that can compare itself to a church-run abortion clinic... "You want to do WHAT?!?"...

@beta: Helping someone oftentimes means setting them in the right direction. Some churches do run centers to discourage abortion by providing other alternatives.

I, of course, continue to agree wholeheartedly with LadynRed.

Oh, didn't know you could do that.

That's only because you're especially polite.

LOL Could be.. or that I'm a lot older than most members here.. in my generation, politeness mattered. Today.. too many young people don't give a hoot about being polite..

We got a thank you letter from someone we interviewed last week. How many people under 40 have ever heard of that?

Well, LearningNewbie, not to counsel the mods, but is that on topic?

BTW: I'm 31 and have sent thank you letters myself (from when I was 17 on). It was recommended to me by an agency which trained kids in how to be an effective candidate for a job. And, that technique has always helped me stay head and shoulders above the rest. I even highly recommend it to all of my friends when they apply for jobs.

One time I sent a thank you card to a company where I didn't get the immediate job offering. They called me back 2 months later to offer me a job. I, of course, already had one by then, but it shows just how large of an impression such a thoughtful action can leave.

Good Point Ladynred Xdefconx Look Up cross-browser compatibility and take the step's of Making You're Website Web Standard!!
