Omkar, Instead of prompting users better show an simple message on home page. "This site is best viewed with FireFox and Google Chrome only". Lots of people uses IE, showing alert sometimes backfires. Its good to show above message. If you want to check browser details: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/3yekbd5b.aspx This can be done with JavaScript also.
