The whole point of properly-designed web content, is that you do NOT have to rely on UserAgent values, separate CSS and HTML structures, and other backwards-moving technologies.

Use standards-compliant technologies, and you will remain forward-compatible, and you will also work on many more devices and platforms than you do now, at much lower cost (dollars and time), and you will use much less code to drive it.

I'm sure I can help, if you tell me what your goals are (public or private is fine).
I think i'm doing something similar. We have a site with 2 versions, 1 for normal PC and 1for PDA and we want to auto-detect which device they use to show the suitable version.

Hacker, can you suggest a way of doing this with standards-compliant technologies? Because I was thinking of using useragent as well.

thanks a bunch
