If IE Redirect

[jmixmaster29]

Some of my elements on my site don't with with IE8 and below, so I was wondering if you could do this. I would want it to redirect the page to an "/outdated.html" page that would give links for them to upgrade. After a little bit of research, I found this:

<!--[if IE 6]> 
  <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;http://www.mysite.com/outdated.html"> 
<![endif]-->

But according to some replies to where I found that, I would want:

<!--[if lte IE 8]> 
  <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;http://www.mysite.com/outdated.html"> 
<![endif]-->

So would this work?

I think it would (not 100% sure, I dunno how the IF stuff works in html); I do see what the difference is between the two though. The difference is the first one looks to be for IE6 only, the second should be for IE 8 (and I'm guessing the "lte" means "earlier"), which is closer to what you want.

The easy way is to try it and see - if it doesn't redirect, it's not quite right. If it redirects IE8 but not IE7, it's not quite right

Hello jmixmaster29,

Of course, Livewire is correct!

Your first code [if IE 6] means [if IE is version 6]

The second one [if lte IE 8] means [if IE version is less-than-or-equal to 8]

You can find a good explanation and examples here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc817577.aspx

Note that beyond simply redirecting, you can use conditional comments to create content or styling that applies only to some versions of IE.
