It is definitively not a good idea to rely on browser detection
for you pages. Especially if you dont already know how to do it.
Try to make your HTML-code not so special to let it work for all
browsers (you cant know how to handle the specific of all the
browsers available).
But, if you really cant live without it (please overthing it more
than twice!)
REQUEST['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] is your friend, together with various
string-operations.
Please note: you cant be sure if this field is set and tells you the
truth about the partcular user-agent.
