I created a web site where I would like to have 1 of the button of my menu navigation to open the internet explorer browser. Since the URL I am pointing for this specific button can only be view with IE and not with Chrome, Firefox etc... Which mean if someone is using Chrome for example and want to access this specific link by clicking on it it will open IE browser and see the content. This is feasible? thanks in advance
No, this is not feasible.
Opening in another browser is totally user side. You would have to alert the user that this page is best viewed in Internet Explorer and leave it up to them to download/open Internet Explorer to view it.

It seems this is impossible.
Chrome iOS wont open a vcf file as far as I can tell and I've tried many possible solutions.
Mobile Safari will open a vcf with the Add Contact screen but there is no way that I can see that you can explicitly open a link in mobile Safari from Chrome.
The best solution I can come up with is clicking the link copies it, then opens a popup which tells the user to switch to safari and paste the link in there.

Is there any work around using javascript ?

Create a simple bookmarklet
javascript:(function(){alert('test');})();
Opened a web page (ex wikipedia), and clicked on the bookmarklet, alert box was shown.
Then opened http://www.adobe.com/enterprise/accessibility/pdfs/acro6_pg_ue.pdf in IE.
Now the bookmarklet is not working. Nothing happens. But simple HTTP link bookmarks work.
I have tried in IE10 and IE11.
PDF documents are hosted in an ActiveX control in MSIE browsers.
bookmarklets or scripted extensions will not work on ActiveX hosted content... never, never, never.
Tools>Manage Addons>Show all addons> locate your installed PDF reader ActiveX control and disable it...
close and restart IE for the full changes to take affect.
navigate to your adobe test page...
expected... nothing or a blank new tab is displayed... the PDF reader ActiveX control is disabled...
in gecko and webkit browsers the Netscape plugins mode is used... chromium has their own PDF document plugin.... equally users of those userAgents can also disable their plugins (for security reasons).

window.open("http://www.w3schools.com");
This code opens a page but with the user's default browser.
but
i want to open page only in internet explorer.
Is it possible?
i want to open page only in internet explorer Because i use Activex.(is it possible that run activex in mozila?)
the others are probably blocking the popup you generate
Try it on chrome and watch the right part of the address bar, you should see there a "Popup blocked" message
I don't know if you can open a windows from one browser to other for security reasons or other issues.
But you can put a message in the page warning the user to use a specific browser if he is not using it. To know if the user is using or not IE you can use:
Check if user is using IE with jQuery
