ok so what im trying to do here is to check if it is IE and if it is then enable the IE Specific style sheet and disable the default one and vice versa(the else part of the if).

for some reason it is working when i test it in firefox but it will not work when i do it in IE...i dont know if maybe its the version i am running (which is 6) but any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Here is my code:


CODE

function detect()
{
    var isIE = (navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer");
    
    if(isIE)
    {
      document.styleSheets[0].disabled = true;
      document.styleSheets[1].disabled = false;  
  }
  else
  {
      document.styleSheets[0].disabled = false;
      document.styleSheets[1].disabled = true;
  }
}

First make sure that you have stylesheets linked using the <link> tag in the heading and then for IE the syntax is using parenthesis and not brackets...

CODE

document.styleSheets(0).disabled = true;


Notice here that we are using parenthesis around the number and not a bracket. IE treats it as an array in the style of like VBscript.

This should fix your problem.
