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>
