Hi all

I am a n00b to this site and JavaScript and thought this would work but for some reason I think it needs a source within the <body></body> otherwise there is nothing to tell the script to work or am I completely barking up the wrong tree...

What I'm after is Microsoft and Netscape, Mozilla, Firefox and so on to detect the browser the user is using when viewing the site, therefore showing the correct CSS file for the correct browser. Neat yeah...? But when I view the page none of the CSS will work...

Any aides please... :confused:

Hello, welcome to the forums. You might want to take another look at the posting guidelines (http://www.codingforums.com/postguide.htm); "help with Javascript" isn't really a helpful title in a javascript forum. :)

I'm a complete JS idiot, but you can achieve something very similar using IE's conditional comments:

<link rel="stylesheet" media="screen" href="css/style.css" /> <-- this stylesheet is read by all browsers, including nice, standards compliant ones



Maybe this is an alternative?

I done it... :thumbsup:

It's working... :D

it was because I put a --> Microsoft

Its should look like this instead... works a treat
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">

</script>

and now it brings up the message for Mozilla... All I have to do now is write a CSS file to be compatible with Mozilla, Firefox, Netscape, Opera... man that will be some work...

Thanks
