browser detect question: by mr.coffee 2002-07-23 09:20:37
A few days ago, I asked for input regarding a good alternative to IE, which has finally p***ed me off to the extent that I will probably never again use it.

Now I'm using Mozilla 1.1 and liking it fine, for the most part. There seem to be a few (percieved) shortcomings in the way it handles certain scripts, but nothing horrible.

Problem comes into play when I attempt to access our corporate intranet. It's a big-ass company. The s***-heads who designed the site are apparently M$ drones. It's ugly, and worse, it insists that you use IE. "You're using a sub-standard browser. You can't look at this site unless you 'upgrade' (retrograde) to IE."

I can't get to the source that generates that page, so I'm not clear on the workings of the script they're using, but it's probably a basic browser detect JavaScript. All the script I've found on the corporate sites thus far has been JavaScript.

Correction:
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a000d'

Type mismatch: 'ieVers'

/includes/layout/browserChk.asp, line 34

Does anybody know how to fool browser detection? Surely it's possible?
