If its to detect the User Agent and deliver a specific stylesheet for that browser, then I'd use PHP or SSI to achieve that. Whatever browser is detected, it will be running on an O/S that it has been designed for, which means that Safari for Mac O/S and Safari for PC should behave the same way irrespective of the host O/S. Likewise, there is Parallels Desktop 6 for Mac X which will emulate Win XP, Vista and Windows 7 and also run any browser designed to use those platforms. In fact Mac X users with the addition of this application are far better off than the average Win/Linux O/S on PC user. I'm aware that certain mobiles require their own browser version for correct operation, and UA detection will be useful in delivering an appropriate stylesheet. Or is it just for testing purposes you wish to switch User Agent? Barry My experience has been that certain commercial websites use UA detection when checking security features, and may stop you using transaction features if the browser doesn't report correctly.
