Where can I get something to add to my blog, that will check what browser the viewer is using, and if it is Internet explorer (or any non Firefox browser, /nod in direction of opera fan's), suggest that they get Firefox, and if they have firefox, inform them of there awesomeness. I have seen these before, but I don't know where to find them.

Add this to the page:



<a href="http://www.opera.com" title="Best browser">Download the best browser in the world! Fast, stable, secure, and standard compliant. Available for more platforms than other browsers.</a>


Find the name of the browser is easy. Do you have any coding ability?

I guess the best way tot do is, is by using javascript (but you can use PHP or other sever side script as well).

On w3school you can find a small tutorial. offcource you will need tot edit a little, but its real basic.


<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function detectBrowser()
{
var browser=navigator.appName;
var b_version=navigator.appVersion;
var version=parseFloat(b_version);
if ((browser=="Netscape"||browser=="Microsoft Internet Explorer")
&& (version>=4))
{
alert("Your browser is good enough!");
}
else
{
alert("It's time to upgrade your browser!");
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="detectBrowser()">
</body>
</html>
