Re: [ic] set variable using Javascript???

[Tim Watts <interchange@Romans1013.net>]

we use java to id the browser and load a different set of css for Mac
netscape, it seems to be the biggest problem for us. Rather than bouncing to
a different page, we just load a different css. Here's the code, it's at the
top of each region page, so it doesn't matter what page they hit first.  You
can adapt for your use if you'd like:


<SCRIPT Language="JavaScript">
check_OS= navigator.userAgent.indexOf;
browser_type = navigator.appName;
if (browser_type == "Netscape" && (check_OS = "Mac")) {
document.write("<LINK Href='/styles/site_text_nsmac.css' Rel='styleSheet'
Type='text/css'>");
} 
else {
document.write("<LINK Href='/styles/site_text.css' Rel='styleSheet'
Type='text/css'>");
}
</SCRIPT> 


Watch the wrap from pasting into email...
