Worked like a treat, thanks!!

Then web sites won't be able to tell the difference, and FWIW you
should report the web site to it's owners as broken. User-agent
detection is broken behavior.

I feel it's the website not knowing the browser, hense, unable to render
the page properly. Thanks.


Not to get all gripey or anything, but there are web standards for precisely
this reason. See http://www.w3.org

Having just put together my first real webpage (still pretty basic)
let me tell you (I'm sure you know) its a royal PITA. I've had to make
an extra style*** just for stupid IE and then put a check for IE in
the headers. Thankfully it was pretty simple and I end up with a page
that renders "okay" in IE and looks great in everything else. I told
my "customer" (heh, step-mother) that if it got any more complicated
that I wasn't going to support IE and we'd just put up a redirect to
mozilla. She doesn't understand but, what can you do. I'm not going to
go down that road.
