Is there a way in javascript to detect which browser the user has and pass him automatically to the IE or Nescape optimized site?

There are a few ways to do this and various scripts available. Your best bet is to look at one of the javascript resource sites such as javascript.com where you can find a variety of scripts to use.

Most scripts use the navigator Object and the appName attribute to retrieve information about the browser, but there is a simpler way of doing this.

use:

if(document.layers) { //test for netscape
location.href="netscape.htm";
}

if(document.all) { //test for MSIE
location.href="ie.htm";
}
