Subject: [Javascript] Browser sniffer script question
Reply-To: javascript at LaTech.edu

Hi all,

I don't know a whole lot of javascript. I'm mostly a cut-n-paster. I know
enough to usually be able to tweek a script for my needs. I'm using a
browser sniffer so I can determine what style sheet to serve up. Problem
is,
I don't know how to translate it fron HTML. Any help would be most
appreciated. What I want to do is, if the browser is NN4 I want a specific
style sheet loaded into the parent window. Here's the HTML way to load the
style sheet:
 <.link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles.css">  but how do I
do
it whithin a javascript "if " statement?
TIA,
Lisa

Test for the browser type and then insert the stylesheet information with a
document.write command:

function insertStylesheet()
{
if(navigator.appName=="Microsoft Internet Explorer")
{
      document.write "<.link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'
href='iestyles.css'>"
}

if(navigator.appName=="Netscape")
{
      document.write "<.link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'
href='nsstyles.css'>"
}
}

Just call this function where you would want to insert the style sheet:

<html>
<head>
<title>Document</title>
<script language ="javascript">
insertStylesheet()
</script>
</head>
<body>
blahblahblah
</body>
</html>

Hope that helps.
