short question on attaching js-files

[JeroenB]

Hi,

I have 'attached' a *.js-file to my html page;
now I want that this js-file is only read, when the browser is IE...

so what should I add or change to
<script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot; src=&quot;test.js&quot;>
</script>

Thanks in advance
JeroenB

i guess there is no way to disable loading it if the browser is not netscape, but inside the function that you attache you may check for IE browser and exit the function in case it's some other browser. You need server-side programming (e.g. with ASP or PHP) to disable loading of some parts of the page depending on certain conditions (i.e. like in your case, type of browser). I hpoe it helps.

I have successfully used the following technique to make sure an external script is only loaded if the browser is IE:

<script language=&quot;javascript&quot;>
if (navigator.appName.indexOf(&quot;Microsoft&quot;) != -1) document.write(&quot;<script language='javascript' src='myscript.js'></script>&quot;);
</script>

Hope this helps!
