I've see this done on the www.dailymail.co.uk website, any ideas as to how this is actually achieved? Many thanks in advance as always :-) Title Comments I have made an iPhone App for my new website, but would like to inform users who visit my website with an iPhone to be informed there is an App avilable with a link to either Cancel (stay in browser) or if they choose Ok, it redirects them to the App on the App Store.

Can't provide code I'm afraid but you can add some JavaScript to your site to detect device being used then get it to 'do something' as it were. Have a look here for a starter - http://iphone.wikidot.com/detection Comments Morning.
