To add a browser-switch script
A browser-switch script detects the web browser loading the page and automatically redirects viewers to an alternate
page based on their browser. You can also use the browser-switch script to separate Netscape from Internet Explorer
browsers based on browser-specific markup support.
Note: The Browser Switch script is ignored by version 2.0 browsers and Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.01 for Mac OS.

Drag the Browser Switch icon
automatically moves it to the head section and opens the head section pane.
Note: Because an older browser can't read the browser-switch script, you should make sure that the page you're placing
the script on is built for the oldest of browsers and assumes no redirect is possible.

Platform menu, and select the supported browsers.

If different browsers are supported in Windows and Mac OS, choose Windows from the Supported Platform
menu and select the supported browsers for Windows. Then choose Mac OS from the Supported Platform menu,
and select the supported browsers for Mac OS.
Note: In the Browser Switch Inspector, you can select the infinity symbol for Netscape or Explorer to indicate that the
supported browser versions are those later than version 6.0.
Specify the URL to an alternate page in the Alternate Link text box.

When you have finished, try viewing your page with an incompatible browser and check whether the request is
correctly rerouted.

Smart Favorite icons
Favorite icons let you specify an image that appears with your page's title in the Favorites or Bookmarks menu of a
web browser. When you use a Smart Favorite icon, GoLive enables you to include multiple images of different sizes
or quality, enabling the browser to choose the most appropriate image for the favorite icon. When you specify
multiple images, GoLive sorts the images in the favorite icon to provide best results with browsers that don't support
all settings or that simply choose the first available image.
