Block IE 6 on webbsite?

[Cheeter]

Any one got a script that blocks IE 6 users from entering my website?
I need this because I'm going to save my images in Transparent .PNG wich IE 6 don't support. Luckily They implemented it in IE 7 so I don't need to block tha.

You're mean. The number of IE6 users still exceeds the number of Mozilla and IE7 users combined. But anyways...
The HTTP_USER_AGENT server variable contains information on the browser in use. Use the $_server() command to access this variable.

Isn't there CSS that allows you to switch out the image if they have IE6? I dont remember the exact code :s

Disallowing IE users from entering your website is a bad thing to do as there are a lot of IE users.

Use this code to fix the PNG background bug, I took this code from the microsoft's website (I had the same with my own website):

/*
Correctly handle PNG transparency in Win IE 5.5 & 6.
Based originally on code from from http://homepage.ntlworld.com/bobosola.

Use in <HEAD> with DEFER keyword wrapped in conditional comments:
<!--[if lt IE 7]>
<script defer type="text/javascript" src="pngfix.js"></script>
<![endif]-->

*/

var arVersion = navigator.appVersion.split("MSIE")
var version = parseFloat(arVersion[1])

if ((version >= 5.5) && (document.body.filters)) {
for(var i=0; i<document.images.length; i++) {
var img = document.images;
var imgName = img.src.toUpperCase();
if (imgName.indexOf(".PNG") > 0) {
var width = img.width;
var height = img.height;
var sizingMethod = (img.className.toLowerCase().indexOf("scale") >= 0)? "scale" : "image";
img.runtimeStyle.filter = "progid: DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src='" + img.src.replace('%23', '%2523').replace("'", "%27") + "', sizingMethod='" + sizingMethod + "')";
img.src = "/images/blank.gif";
img.width = width;
img.height = height;
}
}
}
