hey all,
It may look simple to JS gurus, but I am having helluva hard time figuring out why the following code doesn't work. It's simple. I just want to redirect users to the appropriate page depending on their browsers. May be I am missing something here. Help me please. Here is the JS code with simple HTML code.

<html>
<head>
<title> Index Page </title>
<script language="javascript">
<!-- hide me
 var browser_name == navigator.appName;
 var version = parseFloat(navigator.appVersion)
 if (browser_name == "Netscape")
  {
   window.location = "mainpagenetscape.html";
  }
 else if (browser_name == "Microsoft Internet Explorer")
  {
   window.location = "mainpage.html";
  }
// show me -->
</script>
</head>
<body>
blah, blah, blah, blah
</body>
</html>

Thanks in advance

Change this:

var browser_name == navigator.appName;

to this:

var browser_name = navigator.appName;

You probably know this, but jic:
== is a boolean check
= sets a varaible
