Hey all i got a bit of script that i can't seem to get to work. It is suppose to detect IE6, then display a message at the top of the page. Can you tell me whats wrong with it.

<HEAD>
<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">

</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<body>
<div id="IEMessage" style="display: none; width: 100%; background: #FFFFFF; padding: 5px;">Message Here</div>
</body>

Thanks alot

Hii Sean!!
two errors in your code
1> if (browserName=="Microsoft Internet Explorer" && browserVer=6)
solution-
if (browserName=="Microsoft Internet Explorer" && browserVer==6)
2> document.getElementById("IEMessage").style.display = "block";
reason-->at the time of code executing ,no element will be found with Id as
IEMessage since ,it will execute first before actual ID will be loaded on the browser
solution ->you can use it onload event of the body ,or atleast after IEMessage "div" will loaded into the browser.
Note-Always be careful with parseInt ,use parseInt(number,radix)
Reason- e.g parseInt("08") will give 0 so use parseInt("08",10) for decimal

detail code is below-->

<HEAD>
<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">

</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<body onload="callme()">
<div id="IEMessage" style="display: none; width: 100%; background: #FFFFFF; padding: 5px;">Message Here</div>
</body>

Hope this will help you

Cheers :)
