Is redirecting based on browser possible?

[ahmetkaya]

Hi,

I have made my template's jpg header into a flashheader, now I'm dealing with the problem that Internet explorer wont continue loading the flashmovie and that which follows the movie.

In firefox I dont experience any problems...

When I use

<div><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="/templates/siteground-j15-12/images/header.swf" bgcolor="#a8de29" width="818" height="154"></div>

in firefox, it loads perfect but not in internet explorer.

When I use

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0" width="818" height="154">
<param name="movie" value="<?php echo "$GLOBALS[mosConfig_live_site]/templates/$GLOBALS[cur_template]/images/"; ?>header.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<embed src="images/header.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="818" height="154"></embed>
</object>

in internet explorer it runs perfect but now firefox doesn't open the page anymore..

Is there a solution for this problem?
I thought of a browser check and then if it is firefox -> redirect it to index.php ; if it is internet explorer -> redirect it to index2.php

But I couldn't get it to redirect, it's as if joomla has disabled that function..


I hope someone is smart enough to be able to help me!

Greets,

AhmetKaya

jquery has plugins for embedding flash video properly across browsers
you could also use swfobject too

google it ...swfobject is actually in Google Code
