Is there a way I can do a browser check with a JavaScript and then if the user is using Netscape close the Netscape window and open an IE window with my web page address.

I don't think that would be possible at all... Sadly enough!

Reason being is that if lets say it was MS that had created that peice of coding, the Justice department would have closed them down in a heart beat.

What I do suggest you do is use the coding available that allows you to edit the page content based on browser chioce. That would ask them to please open a Internet Explorer window and access your site via that browser.

I would also check your access logs and see what your percentage is of NS users VS. IE users. In most of my sites that % is very small.

However I would suggest that if some coding that did that was out there somewhere it would be on some .NET tool site vs a javascript based site.
