Redirect based on Mac IE

heydasch · #1 (**permalink**) 08-08-03, 03:13 PM

I'm currently working with a shopping cart and for each page of the shopping cart, there are three sections: header.asp, (main content).asp, and footer.asp. (All three are loaded at once to appear as one single page)

Inside my header.asp is a javascript drop down menu. This doesn't seem to be interacting well with Internet Explorer for Mac. What I'd like to do is have a browser redirect for just the header.asp content. I received help from a source stating that the code would look similar to the following:

if browser=IE MAC then
all mac header crap here
else
all original header crap here
end if

I can take care of the "header crap"

but I'm not sure how EXACTLY the code would go. Any help would be greatly appreciated.[SIZE=1][FONT=arial][FONT=century gothic][COLOR=darkred]

try this:

Code:

<%
Dim strUserAgent   'Gets OS and Browser
Dim blnUsingIE       'Will return True/False if user is using IE

blnUsingIE = False
strUserAgent = Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_USER_AGENT") 

If inStr(1, strUserAgent, "MSIE", 1) Then blnUsingIE = True

If strUserAgent = "Macintosh" AND blnUsingIE = True Then
	'Your code here for Macs
Else
	'Your code here for non-Macs
End if
%>

I hope this is what you wanted (and it works, hehe)

Where exactly would other tags fall into place with this code? For example: HTML, Head, Body.

Just put the code at the top of the pages where the header would go, example:

Code:

<html>
<head><title>My Website</title></head>
<body>
<!-- Start Header -->
<%
Dim strUserAgent   'Gets OS and Browser
Dim blnUsingIE       'Will return True/False if user is using IE

blnUsingIE = False
strUserAgent = Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_USER_AGENT") 

If inStr(1, strUserAgent, "MSIE", 1) Then blnUsingIE = True

If strUserAgent = "Macintosh" AND blnUsingIE = True Then
%>
Welcome to my site! You are using a Macintosh with Internet Explorer!
<% Else %>
Welcome! You are not using a Macintosh, you rock!
<% End if %>
<!-- End Header -->

Rest of the page goes here!

</body>
</html>
