Redirect of home page.

[mrichards]

We have created a new homepage for our intranet that contains java applets. We have just found out that some of the older set-ups did not include the virtual machine. I need to be able to check to see if the VM is installed if not then send it to the old homepage. I believe we can check for the VM with javaEnabled(). I don't really work with Java script so I could really use your help.

Something like this should work.

<script language=&quot;javascript&quot;>
<!--
if (navigator.javaEnabled)
<META HTTP-EQUIV=&quot;refresh&quot; CONTENT=&quot;0;URL=http://Newpage.com/&quot;>
//-->
</script>

Hi all,

I'ed be surprised if that would work.

Try this script on for size:

<Script language=&quot;Javascript&quot;>
<!--

old = '<location of old page>';
new = '<location of new page>';

if (navigator.javaEnabled) {self.location = new}
 else {self.location = old}

//-->
</Script>

Everyone has a right to my opinion.

Mithrilhall, u're almost there!
but i bet u cant use any tags inside <script> tag, so, it must be smth like the followin:
in ur index.html (in head section):
<META HTTP-EQUIV=&quot;refresh&quot; CONTENT=&quot;2; URL=http://www.site.com/oldpage.html&quot;;> - this is for those users who turn javascript off as well as java, it must redirect'em 2 page without any scripts/applets (if u have one) in 2 seconds..
<script language=&quot;javascript&quot;>
<!--
if (navigator.javaEnabled) top.location=&quot;newPageWithScripts.html&quot;
//-->
</script>
this will redirect user with enabled javascript 2 ur new super page

there can be more redirects (depending on wich brawser or smth)


regards, vic
