Load a HTML page (JavaScript)

Question

I've never used Javascript before, so it's a bit confusing. I have a decent knowledge of HTML and some in C#.

Anyhow...I'm building a website and I'm trying to do a script that opens up a different html document if it is for example, Chrome, Internet Explorer etc. The thing is I don't know how to load the specific html document for each detection. I've already have a script that makes it detect the kind of browser you're using.

Code:

<script language="Javascript">

    var BrowserDetect = {
    init: function () {
        this.browser = this.searchString(this.dataBrowser) || "An unknown browser";
        this.version = this.searchVersion(navigator.userAgent)
            || this.searchVersion(navigator.appVersion)
            || "an unknown version";
        this.OS = this.searchString(this.dataOS) || "an unknown OS";
    },
    searchString: function (data) {
        for (var i=0;i<data.length;i++) {
            var dataString = data[i].string;
            var dataProp = data[i].prop;
            this.versionSearchString = data[i].versionSearch || data[i].identity;
            if (dataString) {
                if (dataString.indexOf(data[i].subString) != -1)
                    return data[i].identity;
            }
            else if (dataProp)
                return data[i].identity;
        }
    },
    searchVersion: function (dataString) {
        var index = dataString.indexOf(this.versionSearchString);
        if (index == -1) return;
        return parseFloat(dataString.substring(index+this.versionSearchString.length+1));
    },
    dataBrowser: [
        {
            string: navigator.userAgent,
            subString: "Chrome",
            identity: "Chrome"
        },
        {   string: navigator.userAgent,
            subString: "OmniWeb",
            versionSearch: "OmniWeb/",
            identity: "OmniWeb"
        },
        {
            string: navigator.vendor,
            subString: "Apple",

        {
            prop: window.opera,
            identity: "Opera",
            versionSearch: "Version"
        },
        {
            string: navigator.vendor,

        },
        {
            string: navigator.userAgent,
            subString: "MSIE",

    ]

};
BrowserDetect.init();

You can use jQuery.get():

$.get('test.html', function(data) {
    $('.result').html(data);
    alert('Load was performed.');
});

There are few ways, each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
But as commented, it's not a good practice to "do stuff" based on the browser.

1. Ajax:
You can use ajax to dynamically load html content based on the browser.

2. Redirect
Redirect to the right page based on the browser.

3. Using css to display the right content
You can hide all the irrelevant information (using display:none / visibility:hidden) and display the right one based on the browser.
