Detect Internet Explorer and display a message

rated 0 times [ 72] [ 6] / answers: 1 / hits: 20981 / 12 Years ago, sun, january 27, 2013, 12:00:00

I have been looking around and cannot find what I am looking for

I want to display a warning to IE users that my website does not support IE nor will it ever try to and that you should get a better browser.

How you detect IE is really all I need but it would be nice if someone told me how to trigger a lightbox on the page but I can do that myself if you don't include it

Thank's for the help!

Conditional HTML comments will work for detecting IE9 or less. From the HTML5 Boilerplate, which I highly suggest you use:

<!--[if lt IE 7]>

    <p class=chromeframe>You are using an <strong>outdated</strong> browser. Please <a href=http://browsehappy.com/>upgrade your browser</a> or <a href=http://www.google.com/chromeframe/?redirect=true>activate Google Chrome Frame</a> to improve your experience.</p>
