How do I test which web browser is used?

Thursday 12 April 2007 12:54:29 am

Hello,

I would like to test which browser is used in my template (because of some incompatibilities between Explorer and Firefox.)

If it is <b>Explorer</b> I would like to show <b>page 1 </b>

and

If it is <b>Firefox</b> I would like to show <b>page 2 </b>

How do I proceed?

Thanks in advance

I have pictures on my page and they are placed in layers -

Explorer shows layers correctly, but not the Firefox.

I had to make one more page with pictures in layers which will work with Firefox.

So it is not ez issue it is problem with layers.

Layers are defined in stylesheet like this:

#Layer1 {
	position:absolute;
	width:118px;
	height:128px;
	z-index:1;
	left: 116px;
	top: 166px;
}

#Layer2{

etc.
....

so I had to define Layer1 for Explorer and Layer1 for Firefox in different html pages.

If it is some work around to do in one file I will be very gratefull.

I'll try as Michael said, with css hacks,

<link href="all_browsers.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<!--[if IE]> <link href="ie_only.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"> <![endif]-->

I hope it works in ez, I'll try it tomorrow.

Thanks for all your help guys.

Best regards
Aleksandar
