Further to our conversation on this list about msn.com..
I have created what I think should be Linux and open sources retailation for
Microsofts attempt to force the use of their "non standards compliant"
browser.
This is what I have so far.
Here is the code that goes in your main site..
##########################################################
<html><head><title>Non Compliant browser!!!</title>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
var browserName = navigator.appName
if (browserName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer")
{
PoPuP = window.open("http://mydomain.com/non-compliance.html";, "PoPuP",
"scrollbars=yes,toolbar=no,statusbar=no,width=450,height=200,resizable=yes")
;
}
</SCRIPT>
</head>
<body>
</body>
###########################################################
Nothing terribly fancy about that, pretty standard code.
and here is the page it opens:
###########################################################
<html>
<head><title>WARNING! Non Standards Compliant Browser Detected. Possible
Security Risk.</title></head>
<body>
<h4>You are using: Microsoft Internet Explorer to view this site.</h4>
Because Microsoft do not always support open standards, and
they appear to change their level of support constantly, we cannot
guarantee that you will receive our site in the manner and
with the functionality with which it was intended.<br>
Also, many security flaws have been found in "Internet Explorer" that could
put your computer and your personal infomation at risk.
We suggest you download Mozilla (Free) at <a href ="http://mozilla.org";
target="new">
http://mozilla.org</a> and show your support free software around the
world. Mozilla was created and is maintained and advanced by open source
programmers around the world. It is a fast, secure and most importantly,
standards compliant browser.
<br>
This is not necessary you may have full functionality, we just can't
guarantee it, and neither can anyone else other then Microsoft and its
partners.

############################################################
This opens a small featureless browser window of 450x200 pixels
that contains the above html,, I would like to hear anyones comments on
this.
