Re: Detecting browser type after login

Ahh okay, Then yeah,  something similar to the messages framework may work well for you in this case. You could even use the messages framework directly in a "hackish" sort of way just by putting some code in your template that looks for a Messages Warning and spits out javascript accordingly. Shouldn't take but 15 minutes to implement.

The want the user to be able to continue to use the app. The popup is
just to advise them that some features may not work. So I have to
still pass them through to whatever they're getting redirected to, and
not just stop.
