Is there html I can use so that my webpage is only viewable through internet explorer?
i know you can do it in javascript:

seriously thats my question as well....why limit the viewers, wouldn't you want your page viewed by the most number of viewers...not the least?

Anyone else noticing a trend w/AC and his threads about internet security and prohibiting things?

I say it's got to do with child porn.

if you really must know, it's because internet explorer is the only browser that allows script to temporarily disable the print screen function.
That's my only reason. I regularly use firefox.

Yeah, and if somebody really wants to save what's on it they'll just hit print screen (the key), paste into image program, scroll down, repeat. I can't imagine what you want to put on THE INTERNET that you want to be so sure nobody will save, but if you're asking how to do it on SRK, it can't be that important.

Only way I know how to do it is with PHP
<?php
$browser = $_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"];
if(strpos($browser, "MSIE") === FALSE) { die(); }
?>
Something like that.
Don't get why you'd want to do that though.

Seriously. I hate web pages that try to get clever and attempt to stop you from doing things. Like the one's that pop-up a stupid message box when you right-click on the page, saying that you're not allowed to save their images. It's annoying because I use the rt-click context menu to navigate back/forward pages a lot.
The bottom line is that you can't stop people from saving your stuff. If I wanna save some images, I can print-screen and paste in photoshop, i can disable javascript, etc. Its just silly and annoying.
What do you have that's so important that you want to limit how people can browse your site?

I giggle when they attempt to stop me and take screenshots of their website just to spite them.
Seriously don't be that guy.......
