I have a block on my site for users to click and and make my site their start page. The script however, only works on IE, the block contents won't even show up with Fire Fox. I found a script to send users to a different site depending on browser type. How would I make it so that the block itself doesn't show if the visitor uses anything except IE? The block now shows up with nothing in it and thats kind of ugly. Barring that, has anyone heard or seen a better script (for making a button to make the visitors start page my page) that would work with both Fire Fox and IE? This script was all I could find.

I'm not much of a programmer, but I believe you can use the reserved PHP variables to create a conditional statement that will redirect based on browser type. Since PHP is parsed server-side instead of client-side (like JavaScript), this *should* be cross-browser compatible.

But again, I'm not a programmer, but I hope this will at least get you started in the right direction.

Also, if you could provide the code you are working with, that might make it a little easier for others to assist you.

Thanks for the help, i'm not much of a programmer either. I know a bunch of Java - that's what they require here at RIT (to start with). Here is the code I have in a custom block:

I found it on hotscripts.com, and it was the closest thing I could find for what I wanted to do.
