The design of my website is pretty ugly with versions of Internet Explorer smaller than 7. I'd like to display a javascript alert for the users whose browser is concerned.

Something like : "The design of the website is not optimized for your browser. Please upgrade ... "

The thing is that javascript code inside conditional ments doesn't work so how can I do this ?

Works fine for me:

<!--[if IE 6]>
<script>alert("IE 6");</script>
<![endif]-->

I wouldn't do this if I were you, though. An alert() is terribly obtrusive. Why not just show a div.

The alert will work fine, in the sites where javascriptting is allowed. The following code part will be used to show an alert

<script>
alert("Your Message");
</script>

Refer to alert for more details.

Here´s some great info about Conditional ments; http://www.quirksmode/css/cond.html

...and perhaps this IE 6 block script can inspire you; http://css-tricks./955-ie-6-blocker-script/

Good luck! :)

Just made a jQuery plugin to solve these kind of problems. Check it out on: http://nmsdvid./iealert/
