Hello,
I've created a PHP script that identifies a member's browser on my site. If the browser is Internet Explorer, it displays this:
<script language="JavaScript1.2"> { alert('Your browser is Internet Explorer. For more security and faster navigation, I recommend downloading Mozilla Firefox. You can download it from Mozilla\'s site: http://www.mozilla-europe.org/fr/firefox/'); }</script>
Actually, I wanted to know if it's possible to make the link I put clickable?
Thank you
A70M

Sorry, no, that’s not possible
If you want to be able to do it, you need to create a window in HTML, like this example https://jqueryui.com/dialog/

You’re not using VHS anymore, so why IE6? -
Thank you for your quick response, I took a look, but I don’t quite understand ...
I replaced my alert() with<script type="text/javascript"> $(function() { $("#dialog").dialog(); }); </script> <div id="dialog" title="Info"> <p>Your browser is Internet Explorer. For more safety and speed during your browsing, I recommend downloading Mozilla Firefox. You can download it on the Mozilla site <a href="http://www.mozilla-europe.org/fr/firefox/" target=_blank>Mozilla</a></p> </div>
But it doesn’t look at all like on the site :/

Otherwise you use the confirm() method instead of alert(): if he clicks OK, and then you redirect him to the FF download site
-
Yes, I thought about it, only the alert appears when the contact logs in to the site with their credentials. So if they click OK, they go to Mozilla’s site; if they cancel, they will never be able to connect if they are using Internet Explorer.
Or I’m not trying to force them to stop using IE (though that could be a solution ... )

jQuery UI uses the jQuery library
so you must first download it and then include it in your page
--

Oh okay. But I don’t know this language/library at all. I’ll keep the JAVA alert()
Thanks anyway

And you also need to take the CSS and images with JQuery UI.

Your computer doesn’t do what you want ... but what you tell it to do. -
lol it's JavaScript, not Java
Java has nothing to do with it

"Yes I thought about it, only the alert is displayed when the contact connects to the site with their credentials. So if he clicks OK, he goes to Mozilla's site; if he cancels, he will never be able to connect if he uses Internet Explorer. "
=>wait, I didn't understand what you want: do you want the alert to appear before authentication or after? -
Yes JavaScript sorry ... It's a habit :$

JessayeDeTrouver > When the user clicks on sign in, my script runs and detects the browser. If the response is Internet Explorer, it will display the alert to them.
So if I place a confirm(),
if they click yes > Mozilla Site
if they click no > Authentication canceled and thus impossible under IE.

Either way, it’s not a problem.
But he wants the visitor to stay on the site (and log in if it’s before), whether or not they choose to use Firefox.
PS: To look more stylish and give the user more freedom, you could display the images of the most well-known browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari) and show below each the name of the browser as a link.

Your computer doesn’t do what you want it to do... but what you tell it to do. -
But where should I put the image?
should I put in some jQuery, right?

"if he says no > Authentication canceled and therefore impossible under IE". => No, not necessarily, if he clicks on no, and you simply perform a redirect to his account.
-
It suffices to store the image (browser logos) in a folder and insert it into the div with HTML.
And JQuery with the UI plugin will take care of rendering the div as an alert.

Okay, I will try
Thank you all for your information (two of you have already helped me) it’s nice to be helped so well and quickly.
Looking forward to it :)
