Check browser not working

Hi there all,

Having problems with the Dreamweaver MX check browser behaviour.
All I want to do is forward all but IE5.5 or better browsers onto another
page.

IE5.5 or better should remain on the current page.

I'm using IE6, and if I check for IE5.5 it seems to think I'm an older
browser and forwards me on. If I check for IE5.0 it seems to work ok.

Any ideas please?

Cheers,

@ndyB

Pretty broad, seeing as Mozilla, Opera, Netscape 7, and several others
are all "better" than IE5.5 in most regards.

Better to check for the functionality you need, than a browser type and
version.

What he means is checking the browser type is probably not the way to go. Use
object detection instead.

if(document.layers) {NN4 stuff}
if(document.all){ IE4+ stuff}
if(!document.all && document.getElementById){NN6+ and Moz and Opera4+ stuff}
