does anybody have a good cold fusion browser detect script?

i searched the allaire custom tag library yesterday and found a few, but
none of them are quite what i want

actually, i think i can parse the user agent string myself okay, what i
*really* need is a list of the more common user agent strings so that i can
make decisions about which style sheet to feed them

anybody have a representative sample of user agent strings?

as for serving up separate style sheets, i've decided this is much safer
than trying to write a cross-browser style sheet

using @import as a hiding strategy works okay, i guess, but there are just
too many bugs in all the browsers, you end up whittling things down so that
you're basically left with only body background colour and font face

for a real eye-opener, visit richinstyle.com and go through the master
class -- a very very discouraging experience if you had any hopes of
serving up style sheets that do *not* use pixels for font size
