Re: Browser Detecting [was Re: CSS Font Sizes and Macs]

>>>Probably 95% or better of your visitors would be accurately detected, but
what of the remaining 5%? How can you write a page if you're unsure how
it'll show up? That is the trick, and unfortunately, I can't give an answer,
because I'm sure even my detection scripts (which are based on the DOM, not
the browser manufacturer or OS) fail on the unknown SOMEWHERE.<<<

PS: the "other" can easily deal with no font size applied, and so would
disply just fine with that browser's default.  This simply is not acceptable
with the 95% you speak of because some fonts are simply too large or small
to acheive the effectt aht the client is paying me to acheive.

I understand the need to compromise...what I am after here is a solution
that will allow me to set fontsizes in a manner that a) doesn't exclude Mac
users, b) meets WAI policies and c) doesn't look like a first-grade primer
on Windows.
