Yes - that will work most of the time. But be aware that some browsers, such as Opera, can fake the navigator string. I do it so that I can get into my bank account, which normally bans Opera.

You may be better off using Microsoft's Conditional Comments in your script.

Aha! This works great. Thank

It's missing a closing brace

It's missing a closing brace and some semicolons. I copied in a revision that works under Firefox. I replaced if (browserName=="Microsoft Internet Explorer") to if (true) and it showed the appropriate alert on my browser. I don't have IE to fully test it though.

&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
var browserName=navigator.appName;
if (browserName=="Microsoft Internet Explorer")
{
	var answer = confirm("Browser Incompatible - Firefox Needed");
	if (answer)
	{
		alert("You won't be disappointed!'");
		window.location = "http://www.mozilla-europe.org/en/products/firefox/";
	}
	else
	{
		alert("Some elements of this Website will not be displayed correctly.");
	}
}
&lt;/script&gt;
