How to show different pages for different versions of IE

Question

Possible Duplicate:
Browser detection in javascript?

I was wondering how can I detect IE 6, IE 7 and IE8 and say if any of these show different page instead of index.

Something like update.html would be just fine.

I have seen these IF IE6 and stuff but only for CSS not for index page.

Thanks in advance.

It is simpler and more reliable to use the IE conditional comments to determine the IE version. – JustEngland Oct 07 '12 at 16:55
@Downvoter Why the downvote? Just because this is not a certain individuals' preferred solution doesn't make it incorrect or bad practice. Reconsider your reason for down voting. – Paul Fleming Oct 07 '12 at 17:00

Try this HTML code:

<html>
<body>
<!--[if IE]>
<script language="javascript">
document.location = "http://www.google.com/";
</script>
<![endif]-->
redirects to google if IE
</body>
</html>

You can detect Browser by jQuery as easy as:

jQuery.browser
jQuery.browser.version

look here

Then check the browser name or version as above, if TRUE then redirect the page to your favorite url:

window.location.replace("http://your/address/update.html");
