Open IE Window from Firefox

[CalSun]

Greetings,

I want users to browse the site with IE since my pages are not well
displayed in firefox. I created a client script and hooked it to a Redirect
button. This button will show as users open the site with firefox. It did
open a new window, but the firefox window. I need this window to be IE
window.

I need your help, thanks.

Add browser caps (in web.config) for firefox, and it will probably look good
here too:

Can't be done. You don't have any control over the user's computer.
Only the contents of their browser.

Why not just use standard HTML & CSS so your site will render on
different browsers?
