deejaybet Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 does anyone know a code that denies a user access to your website if they don't use IE as most coding in the site is IE based and other browsers don't support the certain coding.

aspnetguy Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 At the top of every page you could put this <script>if(!(document.all)){ window.location = "errorMessagePage.html";}</script> IE is the only browser that will process document.all since it is a MS DOM method and is not web standards compliant (neither is IE).Create a custom error page to explain why a user cannot browse the site without IE and replace errorMessagePage with the name of your custom page.Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skemcin Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 does anyone know a code that denies a user access to your website if they don't use IE as most coding in the site is IE based and other browsers don't support the certain coding. I hope this requirement is not by choice and has to do with some legacy code issue. And do you need to shut out the entire site to non-IE users, or just certain pages - like ones using active x?

aspnetguy Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 I would recommend rewriting the code to be compatible with all browsers, unless you it is for something like an intranet or something that has a controled enviroment where all target users have the requirments.

deejaybet Posted December 5, 2005 Author Share Posted December 5, 2005 well the main code that i no definately doesnt work in other browsers is the code below <script language=javascript>var normal="abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz?*<>"var changed="αвcδзғgнijкιмησρqяѕтυνшxчz؟●«»"var haxxor="48(d3f9h!jk1mn0pqr57uvwxy2?*<>"function change(_in, _out, _hax){ var s="", hx=""; var n=_in.value.toLowerCase(); if (_in.value.length==0) return; for(i=0; i<n.length; i++) { var c=n.charAt(i); for(j=0; (j<normal.length)&&(c!=normal.charAt(j)); j++); if (j<normal.length) { s+=changed.charAt(j); hx+=haxxor.charAt(j); } else { s+=c; hx+=c; } } _out.value=s; _hax.value=hx;}function breezah(_in, _out){ var s=""; var n=_in.value.toLowerCase(); if (_in.value.length==0) return; for(i=0; i<n.length; i++) { var c=n.charAt(i); s+=i%2?c:c.toUpperCase(); } _out.value=s;}</SCRIPT> unless someone can make that code compatible with out browsers, i have no oher choice but to block that page :Dps. the code is hard to explain so heres a link to the actual page (IE only)http://www.layer2hosting.com/~idesign/Phil...ges/msnname.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hacknsack Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 deejaybet,To make this script compatible you just need to refer to your fields differently.http://webfeet.siteburg.com/haxxor.htmlThanks,P.S.

aspnetguy Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 At least he is trying to tell them it will not work unless they have IE...I hate going to sites that don't "exclude" me and I fill out forms just to find it doesn't work and I wasted 10 minutes.And besides you don't know the purpose of hte site...may be it is a private intrnet and the clients don't care cuz they all use IE anyways.

Skemcin Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 I'm glad it could be worked out. I for one will not help anyone exclude certain people from a website... I hear ya Jonas. Although if you're hands are tied due to legacy code (code written by a previous developer) then there isn't much of a choice.Case in Point. I recently redesigned and currently work on pedialink.org. This site was a mess!!! The legacy code is horrific - and that is being generous. The online payment system is even worse. There is code there that I am not allowed to touch (don;t ask why - longer story). So, I have no choice (once I redeveloped the site to be browser friednly - please still many issues to work out) but to sniff the browser and prevent users from checking out with anything other than IE or NN.Trust me - this is not what I want. And I have done EVERYTHING I can to get the powers that be to let me change this. But with a new checkout system launching in 5 months, they feel the work is not worth it (somewhat understanding of their point).So, my "work around" was this:http://www.pedialink.org/learnmore-view.cfm?show=8I'll help someone no matter what, but I will make sure that the reasoning is absolute, without question, the last resort.
