Validate your site first. Then look at making it work in IE. Having it validate should help.

Your comment was very descriptive, thank you for your miraculous input... if you're going to try to answer every post on the forums at least do so with some actual substance in your post, not just a generalize oversight of an issue without helping to solve it.

Excuse. Here excellent example Javascript which defines browser type. Further in web page it is entered by an example:

Code: Select all

   <script type="text/javascript">
   if(is_opera)
      document.write('<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/additional_opera.css" media="screen, projection" />')
   </script>

BennetRight,

Why would there be a need to detect the user's user-agent?

The right approach is to code the page using CSS with well-laid codes, and if possible validated by W3C.

If there are problems on IE, which normally happens, we need first to know what the problem is, and if there is no "valid/standard" fix, then hack, via CSS:

Code: Select all

<!--[if IE]>
<style type="text/css">
#element{property:value;}
</style>
<![endif]-->


Always keep in mind that JS could be disabled, and according to the stats, 20% of users disables JS.

You should cater the page to all, not only to those who have JS enabled.

Hope that makes sense to you.

Just my 2 cents worth. Hope to hear more of your thoughts.
