Seona,
You could use the following to dyamically apply a style sheet based on the browsers'
properties:-
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
if (document.all ) {
document.write('<link href="iestyle.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />' );
}else{
document.write('<link href="otherstyle.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />' );
}
</script>
What I was suggesting before hand was not to rely on the cgi.http_user_agent string
being correct or being available, but rather test the properties of the browsres
capabilities :-)
Cheers,
Steve

Hi Stephen,
Thanks, but it's not actually for JavaScript. 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.
Cheers,
Seona.

Hi Seona,
If your doing the detection for javascript capabilities, the best way is
to do it in your javascript, and not rely on the cgi.user_agent string.
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

Hi Seona,
I use the value of cgi.http_user_agent to determine browser info.
This link might help...
