Re: JS: browser AND platform detection COMBINED

try this. it doesn't get incredibly specific with platforms. it doesn't test 
for OS/2 or versions of windows. so take into consideration that win3.0 and 
win98 are treated the same, etc...

agt = navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase();
app = navigator.appName;

is_MAC = (agt.indexOf("mac")!=-1);
is_PC = (agt.indexOf("win")!=-1);

is_NN = (app.indexOf("Netscape")!=-1);
is_IE = (app.indexOf("Microsoft")!=-1);

css = "defalt.css";

if (is_MAC && is_NN)
  css = "mac_nn.css";
else if (is_MAC && is_IE)
  css = "mac_ie.css";
else if (is_PC && is_NN)
  css = "pc_nn.css";
else if (is_PC && is_IE)
  css = "pc_ie.css";
