Thanks Jochem....but how do I test if a browser will render the site as intended (i.e. in NS 4 this site looks WAY off the intended look).

Mabye I can simplify this with a little help from CF-Talkers...

CGI.USER_AGENT spits out something like so:
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)

If someone can tell me what IE 4/5/6 and Netscape 4/6/7 would spit out then I can whip this puppy up in a few minutes (I'm sure it's just looking at the part in brakets for "MSIE" etc....but I know there are some odd ones.

Even better would be if someone has a list of what IE/Netscape/Gecko/Safari/Opera would spit out ;-)

  The best way to do so is to test if the browser has the required
  functionality, not to test for browser name (changes), version
  (changes even faster) or security settings.
