Don't use a browser sniffer; use an object sniffer, along the lines of:

if (document.getElementById) {
   // standards compliant code here
} else if (document.all) {
   // IE 4.x and 5.0 code
} else if (document.layers) {
   // Netscape 4 code, assuming you are using layers!
}

See http://aamcf.co.uk/temp/cascade for an example.
