I'm thinking of using Javascript to detect what browser people are using so
I can serve them a CSS based on the browser of their
choice. What's your opinion on using this technique? Have you tried it?

Below is javascript code for TopStyle's minimalist approach to this. It
supposed to
detect whether the user is using IE or NN or Other. 

Any recommendations? Does anyone have code that detects for more browser
versions? I feel like going nuts with CSS...

<!-- 
if(-1 != navigator.userAgent.indexOf("MSIE")) 
{
 // Internet Explorer 
document.write('<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="ie.css">');
 } 
else if (-1 != navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Mozilla")) 
{ 
// Netscape document.write('<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
href="netscape.css">'); 
} 
else 
{
 // other 
document.write('<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="other.css">'); 
} //-->
