[users@httpd] Response based on User-Agent

[Rufoo <ru...@yahoo.com>]

I want to do some browser specific things in the HTML.


Should I do through client side javascript and do
something on the server side itself based on the
UserAgent header?

What is advisable?

Does anybody use the latter method? 

thanks
rf

I'd prefer JavaScript because the UserAgent may be faked. You can
js-check things like window.opera which identifies Opera - AFAIK
there is no way to fake that.

You should provide a non-js version of your site, i.e. your js
should forward to an other page, and if someone is using a non-js
browser the js ist ignored and the content of the page is shown.
