You can easily chack if someone's browser has DOM support by including
this in the header:
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--//
if (!document.getElementById)
{window.location="altindex.html"}
// -->
</script
and this will redirect the user to an alternative html file of your
choice: some folk suggest that the user upgrades and provides link(s)
accordingly, some redirect to a basic page.
However, in the long run, it isn't worth it, as the others have said.
Just let the page degrade gracefully in old browsers.

Owen Briggs used a style class named .ahem set to display: hidden
which links user to alternative content

of course i am seeking to make this whole thing graceful and silent,
ie users don't have to be aware or made
aware of thier inefior browser just get redirected.
So I am wondering:
what the WSG members think of the idea?
has something like this been made?
