Hi all,

I would like to take advantage of CSSs style features but keep the site
looking relatively the same in non css compliant browsers. Is using a server
side script like php and outputting html/xhtml based on http_user_agent a
useful way of achieving this?

(I have seen some Mozilla documentation describing this process as
'ill-advised' - see http://mozilla.org/build/user-agent-strings.html section
Cloakers.)

Chris.
