How do i can block/denied Firefox browser/etc browser user to visit my website? I only want fully 100% Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) web browser only can visit my web site. This is because my web site is design just for IE. Can someone give me any referrer URL/website for this issue? It will be nice if someone can inclueding with a coding/programming to do this.
Thanxs

Are you sure you dont want your site indexed by google and other search engines ?
I have to wonder why you would only want browsers that are full of bugs on your site.

Me -No need so much:p
Wlauzon - <sarcasm> Why not just take your site down, that way you won't have to worry about all those non IE ones at all.</sarcasm>

Me - On certain circumstance/condition/environment you have to choose your audience/target to make sure ur can delivery with a best output or just to make sure your browser support it. To make it easy with now-a-day browser war so better i choose specific who's my audience for my content delivery. If i got a long time frame, of course i will make this web is compatible with all browser. Thanxs
All of this is not why i wont support others browser, this is because of that Microsoft contain so better i choose directly which one browser will allow to view that web site than someone with Firefox/Opera/Safari go crash there. Like i explain before.
Thanxs for reply.
if you desire IE eyes only to your site use conditional comments
to block your page from prying infidel browsers. ;)

i develop a dynamic web site that contains Windows Media DRM element
A more elegant approach would be to test if browser supports this brand of DRM, I assume earlier versions of IE dont, and if other do thats a bonus. Look for some javascript to detect for DRM and if not redirect to sorry page.
Asp example;
<%
If InStr(Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_User_Agent"), "MSIE") Then
' Do something for Internet Explorer
Else
' Do something else
End If
%>
Just as a side note to everyone who offered up unwanted opinions instead of an answer to the original question, there are many reasons why one would want to accomplish this. I have projects that not only target a certain browser, but a certain version as well.
I know a few people that go the other way and ban IE.
<body>
<script language="javascript">
<!--
if (navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer") {
document.location = "http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/";
} else {
document.location = "http://www.example.com";
}
// -->
</script>
<div style="font-size: 1.2em; color: #900; text-align: center;">
IE users are banned here.
</div>
</body>
That's just a JS example, so easily defeated but just as IE only applications simply don't work on anything else; the same goes for FF and Opera designed sites, pretty much useless for IE users whether they are banned or not.
BTW - What is the consensus on the most 'bullet proof' method and code of banning IE users these days?

A better bet is to test for the functionality you need. If it isn't there, ask the user to use Internet Explorer.
