So I have a client who wants to make a very complex website (meaning using many features of Webflow) IE compatible. I told him it would greatly limit the full design and animation features implemented. But he seems intent on making it IE compatible.
So I was wondering… what javascript can I implement that would detect the browser program, and redirect to a IE friendly page? I’m thinking of creating a separate site without animations and without flex (since it’s not stable with IE), and it would automatically redirect to that section of the site instead. That way it won’t affect the layout and design of the main site with all webflow features.
Weird solution (Bad for SEO to start duplicating content and make redirects). Example: Site with 1% traffic from old version of IE - for this you going to duplicate the entire site! (BIG NO).
Wow this was extremely thorough and helpful.
Thank you so much for all your tips!!
I’m wondering… with the browser detection, instead of showing a full page with preferred browsers, like this page… How would I have a little pop-up dialogue box on the corner to show up and recommend using another browser?
We experienced this issue with a client project and created a script that allows you to show or hide any desired element based on the device, OS or browser being used by the site visitor.
Here is a link to the tutorial video that goes through the problem as well as walking you through the solution.
