Better than relying on iffy sniffer scripts, use the @import trick to serve
up full css for proper browsers with a minimal style sheet for non compliant
ones. Using a visibility:hidden style on one of your divs, you can serve up
a warning and/or upgrade links only to those browsers that need them. You
can even provide a nice image, showing them how the page should look in a
decent browser!
Try looking at http://www.designapplications.co.uk/corporate/ in NN4.x - you
will see all the content is there but the layout degrades, and there is a
message which is not visible to Moz/Opera/IE users. The links don't work, as
the design hasn't been signed off by the client yet...
I can further explain the code if you wish, but I'm off for a pint now! Back
in a couple of hours...

Cheers, Paul.
