security_asp thread: verisign certificate and older browser versions???

Hi there,

You can use client-side JavaScript for this.

Use
         parseInt(navigator.appVersion)
for example to retrieve the version number of the browser. You can either 
submit this info to the ASP page that writes out a link based on this 
number, or you can create the link client side.

Server-side you could parse the ServerVariables("HTTP_USER_AGENT") to find 
the kind of browser somebody is using. Or use IISs build in browser 
component to do some browser sniffing.
