Different stylesheet for NS?

[solalmighty]

I'm interested in learning how to provide an alternate stylesheet for my NS 4.x vistitors so I get a "somewhat" desired look and feel for both IE and NS.

Can someone point me in the direction of a browser "sniffer" script and how I would input my changing stylesheet into the script?

That's a good link you brief bugger!

Alternatively, you could use server-side scripting to check the browser then output the stylesheet based off of that. You wouldn't even be able to tell that there were 2 versions.

I agree with Wes. If you have access to server-side scripting languages, I would go with his suggestion.

Here's the script i've created to do what you need..this is on the client instead of the server though.
Plus..this sniffs for Browser and Platform version..thus applying 5 different sheets:
IE - PC & Mac
NS - PC & Mac
and a default script for all other browsers...
