HTML code to open IE from Netscape

Comment:
I am using Netscape as my default browser, but when I click on a link I would like it to open IE, Is this possible? Is there a html tag to change the default browser for that session? I am using the target="_blank" code to open the new window.

I'm fairly sure doing this would require exploiting a security hole in Netscape. Remember, if you can make the computer run iexplore.exe, you should be able to make it run del.exe or format.exe just as easily. Why would you want to make Netscape open IE anyway?

Jake is right, and it's always a bad idea to make your web pages browser dependent...If you point us to the web pages maybe we can tell you why they don't work in netscape. Also, the newer netscapes are much much more likely to display web pages correctly, so make sure you have the latest version. Good luck, SN
