To redirect the browser using a script, follow these steps:  Start FrontPage Editor and open the HTML page you want to edit. On the Insert menu, point to Advanced and then click Script. In the Language section, click JavaScript.  In the Script box, type the following script:

var version = navigator.appVersion;

// sets variable = browser version if (version.indexOf("MSIE") != -1) // checks to see if using IE        { window.location.href="ie.htm" /* If using IE, it shows this page replace ie.htm with page name */ }else window.open("other.htm", target="_self") /* else open other page replace other.html with page name */  Click OK. On the File menu, click Save.</li> Open the page in a Web browser that supports client-side scripting.</li></ol>
