Browser redirects harmful to search engines?

Hello!

I have designed a page that works great in every browser, except the headache of all web designers, IE6. To counter the ill effects, I designed an "IE friendly" page, and put some java code to redirect all IE6 users. How likely is it that I'll have my page removed from search engines? I've heard they take redirects as spammers.

If you don't want the SE's to be a problem, then use a 301 redirect instead of a scripted one.

Remember that most spiders don't crawl JavaScript, so I don't think it will know. It just means your IE page will probably not get indexed unless you include it in your sitemap.

I dont know if its of any use but I have put a link to a php script for browser sniffing which wont have the constraints of JS.
