Hi guys

I have just built a site, it is a simple one page site built in fireworks an embedded in to the html. What I would like to do is redirect any one using a text browser to a text version of the site. I know you can use the meta tag http-equiv="refresh" but I am not sure how to first check the browser and send if necessary. I have a feeling it may be a java script command. If any one knows a piece of code for this task I would be very grateful.

regards Chris

Does anybody still use text browsers?

Since php can easily detect what browser is being used than it would probably be easier with it.

If your host allows you the use of PHP you could use this:

PHP Code:

if (strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], 'ENTER USER AGENT HERE') !== FALSE) { //Add the browser you wish to detect where it says "enter user agent here"
header("Location: http://site.com/textversion.html");
exit;
}

Yup, that's what you want. Put it at the very beginning of the non-text page and rename the page with an extension of .php so it would be like index.php instead of index.html.
