Browser detection to render different CSS

Vote:
 
Is there any function in Episerver to detect which browser version a visitor is using, and to display a specific CSS depending on the browser used?

Hi, I would not recommend you do this as there are so many different browsers and browser version, and some even masquerade themselves as IE. It is far better that you code valid HTML and CSS that is cross browser compatible. Try looking at CSS forums for tips on how to write CSS that will work for specific browsers. Generally, you should code HTML and CSS that works for a good standards browser (e.g. FireFox or Opera) then apply IE-only selectors (there are quite a few e.g. Holly Hack, Hi-Pass filters) to fix IE bugs that may arise.

Thanks for the reply Ben! I agree that using cross-browser friendly html is the best way to solve the issue.. But to be more specific, I'm thinking of finding a way to direct visitors using a mobile phone to a specific version of the site, or even to another domain with a specific mobile-friendly site. What do you think? Many thanks! :)

You should design your site so you can use diffrent kinds of css. You can use one for print, screen and handheld. You can define this in when you link a css to your site and this is nothing you have to do in episerver. /Eric Pettersson

I can recommend the following script for detecting mobile phones, I have a simple example on my blog, use for example your iPhone to see the result.

MobilePack is build with jquerymobile so if you would like to create a mobile version of you website have a look at http://jquerymobile.com/. you should also have a look at the latest Alloytemplatepackage from EPiServer. They use mobilepack or at elaste jquerymobile in that solution.
