FP98: Sample JavaScript Code to Redirect Page Based on Browser
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
Microsoft FrontPage 98 for Windows
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY
This article provides sample JavaScript that redirects a Web browser to a specific page based on which browser you are using.
MORE INFORMATION
NOTE: The following JavaScript has been tested in Microsoft Internet Explorer versions 3.0 and 4.0 and Netscape Navigator versions 3.0 and 4.0.
To redirect the browser using a script, follow these steps:
Start FrontPage Editor and open the HTML page you want to edit.
On the Insert menu, point to Advanced and then click Script.
In the Language section, click JavaScript.
In the Script box, type the following script:
var version = navigator.appVersion;
// sets variable = browser version
if (version.indexOf("MSIE") != -1)
// checks to see if using IE
{
window.location.href="ie.htm"
/* If using IE, it shows this page
replace ie.htm with page name */
}else
window.open("other.htm", target="_self")
/* else open other page
replace other.html with page name */

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
var version = navigator.appVersion;
if (version.indexOf("MSIE") != -1)
{
window.location.href="pay2seeorders2msie5.htm, target="_self"
}else
window.open("pay2seeorders2nav.htm", target="_self")
</script>

Click OK.
On the File menu, click Save.
Open the page in a Web browser that supports client-side scripting.

How to disable the right-click button (and stop people stealing your
graphics/copy)
<head>
place between </head>
<!-- Start of no right click script -->
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript>
<!--
// No rightclick script.
// Find more great scripts and applets at the JavaFile!
// http://www.javafile.com
// Do not delete this header!
var message="Sorry, we don't allow that on this site!."; // Put your message for the alert box between the quotes.
// Don't edit below!
function click(e) {
if (document.all) {
if (event.button == 2) {
alert(message);
return false;
}
}
if (document.layers) {
if (e.which == 3) {
alert(message);
return false;
}
}
}
if (document.layers) {

</SCRIPT>
<!-- End of no right click script -->

If you'd like to get away from gray form buttons, you
may replace it with an image.
Click on the form button,
then go to the HTML. The code should be highlighted and look something
like this:
<INPUT
TYPE="button"
VALUE="Button">
Replace
TYPE="button"
with
TYPE="image"
and also add (without line break)
SRC="images/myimage.gif" BORDER="0"
So you get this:
