Forcing IE to be used 2

[aharris2693]

I am relatively new at javaScript, and I am working on some Intranet pages. We have both IE and Netscape on all of our machines, and I would like to force some pages to be opened using IE even if the user arrives to them using netscape. Is this possible?
Thanks for any help

No.

Unless you have the ActiveX plugin for Netscape. In which case you could use an ActiveX control to shell IE.

Otherwise, you can test the userAgent to see if the user is on Netscape and just display a message to use IE rather than the page.

you should not code anything for a business or intranet (heck internet for that matter) that does not meet the requiremnt of these guys

try updating the code your running to at least html 4.01 transitional specs, and dont forget to use your style sheets.

Yes.

Save your files as *.HTA and they will always launch with the MSHTML rendering engine.

This may be OK for a company intranet but if you can figure out how to use this concept for the www, be prepared for the flood of hate mail you'll receive.

There's always a better way. The fun is trying to find it!

I don't care how much hate mail I recieve, as long as netscape users continue to complement me by using the product -- which they do!
