I'll give you guys a special sneak preview of this tutorial... a good ten minutes before it comes out on my website... enjoy.
Internet Explorer Sucks
Description Its time to send those pesky Internet Explorer users a message. Learn how with my brand new "IE Sucks" PHP Code. (Only $29.99, but wait there's more!)
Try It Out Alright, in order to give those IE users what they deserve we will be using the good ol' HTTP_USER_AGENT command. This command grabs the users browser name, etc. Its also useful for all kinds of other things such as stalking somebody.... *cough*
CODE
<?php $browser = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']; ?>
Alright, good job, young php-learner. As you can probably guess, this does pretty much nothing.
So far all we have done is create the $browser variable and given it a value. Next we'll create the message for those IE users.
CODE
<?php $browser = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']; if(strstr($browser, "MSIE")) { $message = "You *_edit_*, you're using Internet Explorer. Get something else now!"; } else { $message = "You are not using Internet Explorer. Good."; } echo $message; ?>
Ok, so basically, if the value of the $browser variable (which contains the HTTP_USER_AGENT command) has the phrase MSIE (Microsoft Internet Explorer) somewhere in it, the page calls the viewer a douchebag... And if they are not using MSIE, then it pats them on the back.
Of course you can always modify this code to say "Good job" to MSIE users, etc. Or insult users of different browsers... in general, this is a very fun code to play around with and I hope you enjoy it.
i dont know the code but i know that IE drags to himself all kinds of toolbars i had once 4 or 5 at once . i switched to firefox witch just god popular (right before windows vista and new *IE) i liked it becouse of tabs .
but i cant get used to IE again -> wheneever i reinstall widows the first thing i download is Firefox
First of all that code is not intended in such way that is I think that you are misusing the code provided why? because this code is in face intended to help developers because different browsers have different ways of showing very different things and if you are clever enough to use some programs like dreamwaver then you may find that it has compatibility check this is one of its integrated options and this will help you because then you can adjust your code to return correct encoding for the computer that is using your site.
Also remember that the thing that is very important is that internet explorer is still the most used browser today and something else internet explorers things that infacted me and most of the users the most are in fact its integration with the micrsoft operating system windows and as internet explorer was integrated into the kernel in windows xp this produced many problem and security issues however now things should have changed since it is no longer integrated in the kernel of operating system making it more reliable and a lot more secure.
And one more final thing I use mozilla firefox because it is a lot betteer and more usuful then internet explorer or any other browser nto because other browsers "suck".
Although I agree IE is not good, and that the tutorial title is misleading... please try to keep comments relative to the tutorial... not your comments on IE... please.
Well I suppose that instead of hate-messages, have different layout codes etc. to suit different browsers.... I'll write that up later... unless someone else does.
var browser = navigator.appName var type = "Microsoft Internet Explorer" if ( browser == type) { alert('You are using Internet Explorer!!'); alert('Just click OK to download Firefox LOL!!'); document.location = "http://www.mozilla.com"; }
Internet explorer was never my first, second or even third choice.

Firefox is the undoubted champ, with the tons of add-ons but Opera, especially Opera 10 with turbo, is definitely the faster one.
While this is actually the case, keep in mind that the majority of the Internet users use Internet Explorer as their default web browser, maybe not because it's has crap functions and all that compared to other browsers like Mozillla Firefox and Lynx and Opera, but because it is kinda already defaultly set into your computer as the default browser...
As a web master, I think that it would be appropriate if you used Internet Explorer nevertheless because more than half of the visitors to your site WILL be using Internet Explorer to view your site and if you want to make sure you have at least a chance to catch that fifty percent of the visitors that manage to view your website (assuming that it doesn't work on any other browsers), you will have to make sure that they see it properly through their default web browser.... Internet Explorer.

If I'm not wrong, Netscape came before IE, isn't it? I don't remember exactly - saw it somewhere in a documentary. Anyway, IE was bad from the beginning and I could say that even before Firefox came onto the scene. I was always looking for a good alternative and my prayers were answered when Firefox was released
I prefer Firefox over Internet Explorer any day. I have been using Firefox for years now and when I first switched to it, I was amazed at how much better it was than Internet Explorer. It had so many more features than Internet Explorer back then, and even though Internet Explorer has been catching up by adding tabbed browsing and such, it still doesn't even compare. I recommend Firefox to anyone who even brings the question of "What browser should I use?" up.
Same here. Still, we couldn't say that back in the 90's era, you had IE and Netscape and IE was king on the time, tho I always used IE, I started to test the beta versions of Netscape and I thought it was worse than IE, until I saw Mozilla.
Those who use IE either can't download the superior browser onto the computer they're on (school/work computer) or are ignorant of Firefox. Spread the word!
It may surprise you to learn that some people do actually prefer using IE to anything else, as shocking as that may be My dad, for example, is baffled by anything other than IE. It's what he's used to and won't switch no matter how much you persuade him.

From my brief uses of IE recently (when I'm forced to on University PCs) they do seem to be trying to catch up in the features, but they often lack the finesse, usability and implementation that Firefox and other browsers have. Maybe it's just that I'm used to other browsers, but everything in IE seems sort of 'clunky' and forced together in a way that doesn't really work.

I'm working on a website and a few minutes ago I got very tired from the Internet Explorer
vertical scrollbar. This vertical scrollbar is always there, even if the length of the page does not
require a vertical scrollbar. In this case, Internet Explorer will disable the scrollbar though not
remove it. In my opinion this would be correct behaviour. The disabled however not hidden scrollbar
means that a switch between a preview of your website in Mozilla Firefox and MS Internet Explorer
will lead to an annoying change of the location of your layout. To disable this an....
In this tutorial, I'm going to show you how to test your PHP pages without the Internet or
uploading the files to your trap17 server. This tutorial is similar to doom's, but the links he

will be using for this tutorial is called XAMPP . XAMPP is a modification of the popular Apache
