Detect if incorrect browser and display warning message - Webmaster Forums - Webmaster forum for HTML, PHP, ASP, CSS and more

Hi guys. Been reading this and other sites for a while...but time to call on your knowledge...

I have written a piece of code...it works fine in FF2, FF3, IE7, IE8,

However, it does not work in IE6..... 23% of my site visitors are still using IE6...

Is there anyway I can get PHP/javascript to detect that the browser is less than IE7 and display a warning message and a link to MS website to download IE7?

I am working to make my code compatible with IE6...but its easier for the time being, I hope, to simply force the visiter to install IE7!!
