I realise that. I was suggesting that you could use conditional
comments to serve Internet Explorer-only content (including styles
overruling non-Internet Explorer styles). Other browsers should treat
the content as a comment, since that is what it is as far as HTML4.01
is concerned.
That said, browser detection is not only doomed to failure but also
probably a mistake. As Michael Winter has pointed out, moving browser
detection based on the User-Agent header from client-side to
server-side does not overcome any of its problems, because browsers
still pretend to be each other. The mistake, I think, is making more
work for yourself than you really need.
