Browser detection

Hi everyone,

I have picked up this script from MS Site Builder that is supposed to enable me to detect which browser a user is using and thus being able to determine which page to load.  Here is the script:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--var name = navigator.appName; function is Browser>
<if (name == "Microsoft Internet Explorer">
<location.href="EXPLORER.htm">; or any location
else
<location.href="NAVIGATOR.htm">; or any location
is Browser ()
// -->
</SCRIPT>
<BODY>
Content for those not using either browser.
</BODY>

The problem is that whenever I try to run the script, either IE or Netscape chokes on <if(name==.. line giving me a syntax error.  I've tried removing '<' and so one but with no success.  Has actually anybody got this script to work?

I would appreciate your comments and suggestions....
