In my opinion this is worst practice. First priority should be for a website to make the content available to as many people as possible. Browser discrimination is at least as bad as accessibility and usability violations. "At least" because the latter may be caused by lack of knowedge of some guidelines, whereas not being able to deliver a passable page to older browsers is sheer laziness or dumb imbecility. Apart from my rejection on principle, this method of user agent sniffing via javascript is prone to fail in many circumstances. The best way to target IE6 (or below) would be to use conditional comments. ONLY if a web application absolutely relies on certain javascript methods not available in old browsers may a user be warned about difficulties in using this application. In these cases, detection should be done by testing said methods, not by user agent sniffing.
