Javascript redirection for user agent of Internet Explorer browser browser?

Question

I found out that my javascript-intensive website is not working reliably (or at all) in IE9.

It works (usually, but not always) with compatibility mode meta tags in the header, but I just want to create a page that I know will work fine in IE9 and then a regular page will be redirected when IE9. Normal page in IE 7 and 8 (and in every other browser I tried).

Can someone give me javascript that will do this? Thanks!

Here is my regular page:

The easiest way is to use IE Conditionals .

Note. IE10 and later removed support for this feature. For modern browsers, the widespread method of conditionally displaying content for compatibility purposes uses feature detection . Modernizr is a popular library designed to detect detection functions.

For instance:

<!--[if IE 9]> <script type="text/javascript"> window.location = "http://www.ie9version.com"; </script> <![endif]--> 

Examples from the conditional site:

 <!--[if IE]><p>You are using Internet Explorer.</p><![endif]--> <![if !IE]><p>You are not using Internet Explorer.</p><![endif]> <!--[if IE 7]><p>Welcome to Internet Explorer 7!</p><![endif]--> <!--[if !(IE 7)]><p>You are not using version 7.</p><![endif]--> <!--[if gte IE 7]><p>You are using IE 7 or greater.</p><![endif]--> <!--[if (IE 5)]><p>You are using IE 5 (any version).</p><![endif]--> <!--[if (gte IE 5.5)&(lt IE 7)]><p>You are using IE 5.5 or IE 6.</p><![endif]--> <!--[if lt IE 5.5]><p>Please upgrade your version of Internet Explorer.</p><![endif]--> <!--[if true]>You are using an <em>uplevel</em> browser.<![endif]--> <![if false]>You are using a <em>downlevel</em> browser.<![endif]> <!--[if true]><![if IE 7]><p>This nested comment is displayed in IE 7.</p><![endif]><![endif]-->

 <script LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> <!-- if( navigator.appName.toLowerCase().indexOf("microsoft") > -1 || navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase().indexOf("msie") > -1 ) { window.open("http://www.pobox.com/~qed/windoze.html", "Windoze", "dependent=no,titlebar=no,scrollbars=yes" ); } // Paul Hsieh // qed at pobox dot com // --> </script>
