if you wan't to ban IE users from your site...

theoreticaly, could one block Mozilla, or Opera in the same way?

If so would identifying the Browser as MSIE6, as can be done in both Opera, and Mozilla, bypass the browser blocking?

because I can see newer versions of IE being somewhat different that IE6 in mayjor ways.

And I can fore see MS making some of its own sites
like say Longhornsupport.com (does'nt exist), and other sites that it would have a corperate influence over blocking all but the newer versions  of IE

and what the hell is MSN explorer, I saw it on an  XP machine at work.  You thought IE had holes!

You can't block me. My agent string is the following:

 

quote:Mozilla/Ninja Edition (Sega Genesis; U; Loonux; en-US; rv:1.2.3) Gecko/20020530

And it can be easily changed, too. So don't try anything fishy.  :rolleyes:

What would really be the puprpose of blocking browsers from your page (besides some sorta ego booster) The puprose of the net is to share information, not form cliques.

Microsoft Windows XP with Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 is capable of features like millions of popups, and putting icons on your desktop when you visit porn sites.

Its amazing what Windows XP CAN DO!

Okay I know a lot of people will probably criticize me for this but here it goes.

Within a corporate environment you are expected to accomidate for all types of users, this means lynx, galeon, konqueror, mozilla, opera, netscape, and IE users. Unfortunately, this is the hard reality that we are faced with but if it is your own personal site, well then go for it. However, shouldn't information be free and visible for all walks of life or are you rather fond of censorship, what the US gov't does best?

Don't get me wrong, IE is a piece of crap!

Just a thought -
