Browser Detection in VF

I've got a stylesheet I only want to load if user is using IE.  What's the best way to detect browser in VF?  Do I just need to inject some javascript?  Or is there a way to do this natively?

 

Thanks!

You should be able to access the user agent from the controller as follows:

 

String userAgent = ApexPages.currentPage().getHeaders().get('USER-AGENT');

 

Then you could set a property so that the css inclusion is only rendered based on the contents of this.  

 

I try to avoid javascript where possible, though I find most of the time I can't :)
