Redirect and display alert if in incognito


I have a website and some certain features don't work if the user is using incognito. How can I redirect to another page if incognito is detected. Additionally, how can I display an alert as well?

The following code checks if the user is in incognito. You can also view this at http://rahul2001.com/inco.html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>

  <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
  <title>Inco-Check</title>

<script type='text/javascript'>
//<![CDATA[ 
window.onload=function(){
function main() {
  var fs = window.RequestFileSystem || window.webkitRequestFileSystem;
  if (!fs) {
    result.textContent = "check failed?";
    return;
  }
  fs(window.TEMPORARY, 100, function(fs) {
    result.textContent = "Negitive: You aren't using Incognito";
  }, function(err) {
    result.textContent = "Positive: You're using Incognito";
  });
}
main();

}//]]>  

</script>
</head>
<body>

  <h2>This webpage checks if you are in <i>Incognito</i> mode</h2>
  <hr>
<h3>Result</h3>
<h4>
<div id="result"></div>
</h4>
  <hr>
  <hr>
</body>
</html>

Solution

  • This should be your html file (replace example.com and alert message) :

    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
    <head>
    
      <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
      <title>Inco-Check</title>
    
    <script type='text/javascript'>
    //<![CDATA[ 
    window.onload=function(){
    function main() {
      var fs = window.RequestFileSystem || window.webkitRequestFileSystem;
      if (!fs) {
        result.textContent = "check failed?";
        return;
      }
      fs(window.TEMPORARY, 100, function(fs) {
        result.textContent = "Negitive: You aren't using Incognito";
      }, function(err) {
        window.location.href = "http://www.expmle.com";
        alert("This is an alert!");
      });
    }
    main();
    
    }//]]>  
    
    </script>
    </head>
    <body>
    
      <h2>This webpage checks if you are in <i>Incognito</i> mode</h2>
      <hr>
    <h3>Result</h3>
    <h4>
    <div id="result"></div>
    </h4>
      <hr>
      <hr>
    </body>
    </html>
