Re: conditional stylesheets?

<script language="javascript">
<!-- put this in the head of your document
platform = navigator.platform;
if (platform == "mac") {
stylesheet = "<LINK REL=\"stylesheet\" TYPE=\"text/css\" HREF=\"mac.css\">";
} else {
stylesheet = "<LINK REL=\"stylesheet\" TYPE=\"text/css\" HREF=\"pc.css\">";
}
document.write(stylesheet);
// -->
</script>

First make a test script that prints navigator.platform onto the screen so
you can see if it says "mac" or "macintosh" or whatever because I'm not sure

Subject: conditional stylesheets?


| We did a redesign for an old client which looks OK on every
| machine we've tested it on - except, alas, the Mac which our
| contact at the client firm has.
|
| The main problem is that the Mac insists on rendering text about
| 2 point sizes smaller than the PCs, no matter that I am setting
| point size in an external stylesheet.
|
| This set me to wondering if you could call an external stylesheet
| via some JavaScript that tested for the type of system - I could
| simply test for a Mac and link in a stylesheet with larger text
| sizes.
|
| (FWIW an example of the problem pages is at
| http://beowulf2.baylogic.com/newchop/aboutus/aboutus.html).
|
| Has anybody done this that they could share the JavaScript with
| me?  TIA!
