Javascript to detect an old Internet Explorer and offer to download newer browser(s)

Question

I\'m looking for something good-loking that I can paste on a page and be done with it.

Answer 1

I would probably use a comment hack with IE conditional comments to do the version detection.

It's technically not using javascript to do the detection and is rather using a feature inherent to IE but it should work more consistently than a complex javascript function.
