How can I determine the browser for CSS purposes

[Wilson Mui]

I would like to determine what broswer the client is running then inmport the appropriate .css file. How can I do that. Can I start a script before I do the <style> header?

I have never done this...

You'd be better off making this decision in server-side code if that's a possibility for you.

[Wilson Mui]

That would be a negative. At least for now.

I have not tried that, but I am pretty sure you could do something like:
<script>
if(document.all){
document.writeln("<style>........</style>");
}
else{
document.writeln("<style>........</style>");
}
</script>

Or Wilson could try this:

if (navigator.appName== "Netscape"){
 document.write("You are running Netscape Navigator.")//or other means of displaying this message
 }
else {
   if (navigator.appName=="Microsoft Internet Explorer"){
     document.write ("You are run by Redmond Rugrats!")
      }
    else {document.write ("Maybe you made a good choice after all. You have neither Navigator nor Explorer.")
        }
 }

Don't forget the last curly brace...
Buena suerte

... and almost forgot this: try to avoid loading different css according to user's browser or choice since you'll not be treated well by search engines...
Hasta ma�ana
