Re: 'browser detection' and 'Style sheets'

Browser detection would fall under programming. I do this w/ all my projects that need different IE6 or any browser w/ php and first learned how to from Mike Cherim of Green-beast.com.  You can use a php test to determine the browser and then feed an alternative CSS stylesheet or even html content.

look for browser sniffer at http://green-beast.com/experiments/

Re: 'browser detection' and 'Style sheets'

so Browser detection is written in web programming languages? to determinte which style sheets to use?

what other ways can you determine appaerance of web pages? in terms of style sheets?

Nice link John! He's got a lot of cool stuff in there - just linked to him...

jasat_mafioso, are you looking for a style-sheet-switcher? If so, then Mike’s Experiments has a PHP one (if you can figure out how to use it...), or I have a JS one.
