Redirect users to a message page when accessed through IE7

You could do a script to redirect:

<!--[if IE 7]> <script type="text/javascript"> window.location = "http://www.google.com/"; </script> <![endif]--> 

Or a html:

<!--[if IE 7]> <meta http-equiv="REFRESH" content="0;url=http://www.google.com/"> <![endif]--> 

Or simply leave a message saying that this site don't support

If you are able to use jQuery, you can do a simple browser version test and then redirect to the appropriate page and set a cookie:

 //IE 7 browser detection if ($.browser.msie) { var version = $.browser.version; if (version == '7.0') { var cookie = $.cookie('IE7'); if (cookie != 'set') { $.cookie('IE7', 'set'); window.location = '404-url-string'; } window.location = '404-url-string'; } } 

you will need to bring in the jquery cookie plugin as well to set the cookie. The '404-url-string' would be the pathname of the page you are directing to.

As a temporary measure, would a IE conditional with a Javascript redirect work?

 <!--[if IE 7]> <script type="text/javascript"> window.location = "/upgrade_browser.html"; </script> <![endif]--> 

Source: Javascript redirect for Internet Explorer browser version user agent?

Little bit of javascript should take care of this one.

Here's a little demo of the JavaScript navigator object:

<script type="text/javascript"> txt = "<p>Browser CodeName: " + navigator.appCodeName + "</p>"; txt+= "<p>Browser Name: " + navigator.appName + "</p>"; txt+= "<p>Browser Version: " + navigator.appVersion + "</p>"; txt+= "<p>Cookies Enabled: " + navigator.cookieEnabled + "</p>"; txt+= "<p>Platform: " + navigator.platform + "</p>"; txt+= "<p>User-agent header: " + navigator.userAgent + "</p>"; document.getElementById("example").innerHTML=txt; </script> 

Note that this is literally taken straight from W3Schools (which I normally do not recommend, but for this issue it's fine)

Anyway, you're gonna want something like:

<script type="text/javascript"> if(navigator.appName=="Internet Explorer" && navigator.appVersion == "7.0.Whatever") //maybe its "IE", I didn't actually check. Sorry lol, don't have time to test this out { window.location.href = "YourErrorPageFileName"; } </script> 

Throw that code in your login page (or master page, whatever), and you should be good to go.

Side note: no idea why the code is formatting all dumb like that. Guess StackOverflow is parses slashes weirdly under certain conditions
