Calling/Invoking a Function

mnkhaki · 11-22-2011, 12:03 PM

I hate IE. Its complicated and stubborn.

So I want visitors on our site to be redirected using a pop-up saying "you're using an unsupported browser". I found a great way to do this on the following site:

http://jreject.turnwheel.com/

I don't know much about JQuery - but I want to implement what this site offers on mine.

Would anyone be kind enough to explain how to get this done? In other words, do I save the file (code) in a separate file - and then "call" it from the index page? If yes, how?

My sites: www.jafferyacademy.org/index-beta.php and www.mombasajamaat.org/index-beta.php

You incude/call separate JS files with a script element, preferably in the document head but possible is anywhere in the document.

Code:

<head>
…
…
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.reject.min.js"></script>
…
</head>

Be aware of the dependencies of the specific script.

Stephan - thank you.

I added the following as you suggested, uploaded the script in a separate .js file, but it didnt work.

I am not a MSIE fan, but what you intend to do is both silly and in loser. Like it or not, IE remains the main browser, with 54% of share market, which means you will loose half of the possible visitors for your site. After all, which people uses which browser is not your concern.

On the other hand, if you are coding carefully and, if necessary, you are using some simple cross-browser workarounds, you can create a site which should look and behave the same in all the browsers. No need for silly pop-up messages, nor for redirection toward separate web documents.

If so, start learning how to use JQuery. Make sure you have learned JavaScript, first.

Kor - thankfully we are not a business as such - just a school that has mainly parents & students visit the site. The pop up was intended to encourage chrome as a primary choice, but not make it mandatory.

I agree - I should be able to get that, but sometimes it just becomes annoying. Although, with the new web design, I do not seem to have much problem so I can see that having a pop up may not be necessary after all.

Any (reliable) web tutorials you can recommend for javascript and jquery "lessons"?

Thanks again.
