How to redirect the current page to a new page in **IE11** ?

This is what I have got so far, but it didn't work.

<!--[if IE]>
<meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; url=http://www.domain.com">
<![endif]-->

------

This htaccess IE11 redirect doesnt work either-->

XML

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} IE11 [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://google.com/ [L,R]

------

This is the user agent of IE11, so I need to redirect visitors with these user agents-->

Mozilla/5.0 (IE 11.0; Windows NT 6.3; Trident/7.0; .NET4.0E; .NET4.0C; rv:11.0) like Gecko

How do I redirect IE11 visitors? Any ideas?

What I have tried:

I've tried above code, but IE11 visitors continue to the same site instead of being redirected to the chosen domain. :(

Before we suggest something, it would be great to understand your requirement so that we may be able to suggest something better. Why only IE11 and not just IE?

You may be surprised but user agent string can be faked easily, so a browser can impost any other browser...
For that reason you should not differentiate your site based on browser detection, but based on feature detection...
For instance do no say I support only Chrome and FF, but say I support only browser compiles to standard and has addEventListener method...
This approach will open your site for future/updated browsers without any change or any concern about, how the browser called or identify itself...
It also enables you to create different solution for different browsers with ease...

For an easy path you may use Modernizr: the feature detection library for HTML5/CSS3[^]

JavaScript

if ( Modernizr.canvas ) { // browser supports canvas
    drawCanvas();
} else {
    // relocate to an error page
    // or
    drawImageFromServer();
}
