Restricting access to set browsers

Greetings all,
My knowledge of computing is fairly limited, so feel free to treat me as a beginner. I am looking for a way to restrict access to a website to a certain browser(s). IE. Accessible by Internet Explorer, but not via Firefox.
Could this be done by writing a query or IF statement that determined whether a certain browser(s) were being used or not, and if not- being redirected?
My main reason to believe this is possible is that www.officelive.com will only allow users to register if they are using IE.
Any help that you can muster would be greatly appreciated!

What type of environment are you developing in? Are you using any server-side languages such as PHP, ASP, etc?
If not, you can use Javascript, but it will only work if the user has Javascript enabled. Many free scripts available. Just do a search for "Javascript browser detect" on google.

PHP in all likelyhood. Isn't ASP the microsoft "version" of PHP?
Thanks for your help.

You could try this; <script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript"> if(navigator.appName != "Microsoft Internet Explorer")
" If at first you don't succeed, Please Post Back "
