is there anyway to force a link to open up in IE, even if not the default browser

Question

we have a website with links to a sharepoint. These features in sharepoint only work in IE so i dont want to open up firefox or chrome if that is the default browser. Is there anyway to have a

 <a href= "">My Link</a>

force open up in internet explorer ?

Answer 1

You can use javascript to inject the link in your HTML code if the client is IE, and maybe show a warning message if the browser isn't IE. Anyway you can't tell any browser to open a link using another browser.

Answer 2

No, definitely not.

For Firefox users, the best thing that comes to mind is to have them install the IE tab. It allows the opening of pages inside Firefox but using the IE engine - but also requires user action.
