IE vs FF and others.

Good Day to all.

Here is a piece of code that my be helpfull to some. This code determines if your visitor is using IE or FF and others. At the same time it will determine which CSS file to attach to your pages. This way you can create 2 css files, one specific to IE only and other that works the best for FF and other browsers.

I hope it will work for you.

Code:

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
browser_version= parseInt(navigator.appVersion);
browser_type = navigator.appName;
 
if (browser_type == "Microsoft Internet Explorer" && (browser_version >= 4)) {
document.write("<link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' href='css/main_IE.css' />");
}
 
else {
document.write("<link REL='stylesheet' HREF='css/main.css' TYPE='text/css' />");
}
// --></script>

Nice script

Nice job, I might use this.

HTML:

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
browser_version= parseInt(navigator.appVersion);
browser_type = navigator.appName;
 
if (browser_type == "Microsoft Internet Explorer" && (browser_version >= 4)) {
document.write("<link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' href='css/main_IE.css' />");
}
else if (browser_type == "Mozila firefox" && (browser_version >= 4)) {
document.write("<link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' href='css/main_mf.css' />");
} 
 
else {
document.write("<link REL='stylesheet' HREF='css/main.css' TYPE='text/css' />");
}
// --></script>

would this be proper code for taking into consideration firefox also? I am not sure what is the name to call for firefox so... . I am having troulbe with different look on IE and opera while look on firefox is good

bohica032:
And this would be if a user has disabled JS?

It's better to use PHP (if you use PHP as server-side language on your site) to check what browser users is using

Looky looky what I found...

Conditional comments, read only by IE to solve this just problem:

<!--[if IE]>
<link href="iestyle.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" />
<![endif]-->

Works for MSIE5.5+
