Taco Why is everything that is non conformant a hack? if you could call it that anyway
All she is doing is detecting the users browser and including the appropriate stylesheet she has developed for that browser. I do it, am sure you do and just about every other developer does it. Simply, some style behaviors work better in some browsers than they do others, and unfortunately we can not all be web standards/cfml/javascript gurus like yourself to achieve perfection each time. What is a "HACK". It is merely a means of thinking beyond what is perceived as "normal" to arrive to a solution, whether that solution has had to make a compromise. Ease up on the "HACK" references.

I have some positioning issues with my menus - the sub-menus display just fine in everything except IE5, where they overlap the main menu bar and are thus impossible to see or select. So I want to include a different stylesheet for IE5 users which will have some different numbers it it.

This string may not be passed if users have firewalls turned on their computers. Your better off using something like this in your javascript:- var ie = document.all?1:0; var ie4 = (document.all && !document.getElementById)? true : false; var ns4 = (document.layers)? true : false; var ie5 = (document.all && document.getElementById)? true : false; var dom = (document.getElementById && !document.all)? true : false; var isMac = (navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Mac") != -1)? true : false; var ie45 = (ie4 && isMac && navigator.appVersion.indexOf("4.5")!=-1)? true : false; HTH, Steve -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Stephen Bosworth Application Development and Integration Communication and Information Services The University of Newcastle, Australia Phone: 02 4921 6574 Fax: 02 4921 7087 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 5/02/2004 12:01:14 pm >>> Hi Seona, I use the value of cgi.http_user_agent to determine browser info.
