however, for what it's worth, the names of the browsers I use in my html code work for all versions of these browsers. is php very picky?


The trouble with using HTTP_USER_AGENT  is that it's not foolproof, the server only knows what the browser tells it in the http request.
 Then you get lame arsed sites that check this and see you're not running IE6 and just redirect to an annoying page that tells you to install IE and try again. Cos of this, some browsers let you change the value so it the server thinks you're using IE..and suprise suprise, most of the time the page loads fine  :madashell:
 Although I've yet to meet anyone who changed their user agent string from Mozilla/IE6 etc to AWeb, so I guess it's safe to assume if it contains AWeb, IBrowse or Voyager then you're dealing with an Amiga (or Morphos) client.

CSS is the best thing that happened to HTML since Javascript..
