hi all

what is the quickest way to the redirect the user's browser to another
page dependent upon what browser they have? Ideally id like it to occur
b4 the page content loads (which can take a while)

Considering that you can't reliably detect the browser the answer to
your question is you can't. Not before the page loads, nor after it
loads, unless you ask the user.

Ideally id like it to occur b4 the page content loads (which can take a while)

And ideally, most people would appreciate you taking the time to spell
and punctuate properly as it makes it a lot easier to read.

The solution to your problem is to stop trying to determine the browser,
write cross-browser code and degrade gracefully.

Marc, it is not possible to determine accurately or consistently what
browser is being used. Your page should work with *all* browsers
regardless of what they are. This is the fastest and most efficient way
both to use the web pages *and* to write them in the first place.
