I notice there are a lot of sites in this group, that are using javascript.As others have suggested, building pages for individual browsers should generally be avoided. However, on those occasions where browser sniffing is needed, JavaScript is NOT the way to go. Unless you can control your user's environment, JavaScript shouldn't be relied upon.
Are they mostly for determining browsers and then redirecting,
or.... ?
A much better solution is to handle it server side. One simple reason (but far from the one) is that no browser is required to support JavaScript (either by design or through user choice), but they are required to support HTTP. While the browser can lie, it has to tell you something about the user agent.
