To redirect the browser using a script, follow these steps:

Start FrontPage Editor and open the HTML page you want to edit.
On the Insert menu, click Script.
In the Language section, click JavaScript.

In the Script box, type the following script:

      var version = navigator.appVersion;

      // sets variable = browser version
      if (version.indexOf("MSIE") != -1)
      // checks to see if using IE
         {
         window.location.href="ie.htm"
         /* If using IE, it shows this page
         replace ie.htm with page name */ 
      }else
      window.open("other.htm", target="_self")
      /* else open other page
      replace other.html with page name */

Click OK.
On the File menu, click Save.
Open the page in a Web browser that supports client-side scripting.
