Outdated Browser v1.1.0

$3

So, you're tired of people visiting your modern website with an outdated browser and not doing anything about it.
Maybe they aren't "power" users, maybe it's your auntie running a last century browser trying to see awesome CSS3 animations and transforms. Let the user know that’s an outdated browser, and advise them on a better one.

With this solution you can check if the user’s browser can handle your website. If not, it will show a cool looking notice advising the user to update the browser. It’ll be up to the user to upgrade or not. Don't force the user!

That's it! As simple as it can get.

How to use it

Important: Because of old browsers (e.g. IE6, IE7), we recommend to implement this plugin before any other javascripts (plugins or your own scripts) — these browsers have "strange" js errors and the plugin may not be working as intended.

1. Include the CSS located in the HTML head:

``html

`

2. Include plugin's script at the bottom of the HTML body:

`html

`

3. Paste the required HTML at the end of your document (see demo examples):

`html



`


4. Call the plugin by placing the following at the bottom of the HTML body:



— Plain Javascript

`javascript
//event listener: DOM ready
function addLoadEvent(func) {
var oldonload = window.onload;
if (typeof window.onload != 'function') {
window.onload = func;
} else {
window.onload = function() {
if (oldonload) {
oldonload();
}
func();
}
}
}
//call plugin function after DOM ready
addLoadEvent(function(){
outdatedBrowser({
bgColor: '#f25648',
color: '#ffffff',
lowerThan: 'transform',
languagePath: 'your_path/outdatedbrowser/lang/en.html'
})
});
`


— Using jQuery (version that supports IE<9)

`javascript
$( document ).ready(function() {
outdatedBrowser({
bgColor: '#f25648',
color: '#ffffff',
lowerThan: 'transform',
languagePath: 'your_path/outdatedbrowser/lang/en.html'
})
})
`

6. Using the plugin without AJAX calls:

— Paste the required HTML at the end of your document (see demo examples):
`html



`


— Call the plugin (see 4.) but with the variable languagePath empty:
`javascript
//DOM ready or jQuery
outdatedBrowser({
bgColor: '#f25648',
color: '#ffffff',
lowerThan: 'transform',
languagePath: ''
})
``

6. Targeting browsers:

You can do it in one of two ways: using Internet Explorer browsers as reference or specifying a CSS property. The outcome is the same, choose what is easier for you.

Lower Than (<):
* "IE11","borderImage"
* "IE10", "transform" (Default property)
* "IE9", "boxShadow"
* "IE8", "borderSpacing"

7. Choose the language:

Download the “lang" folder: If you have the language you want, just write the correct path for the language file in your project; If you don’t have your language, you can write your own html file, and please share it with us.

And you're done!

PS: check the "demo" folder, it may help you.
