Inserting javascript check for browser within a table

[rams0619]

hi all

I have a table which is aligned properly in firefox bt not aligned properly in ie, so i want to include this javascript
<script language="JavaScript"
type="text/JavaScript">
if(navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer")
{


And place an additional td so the text is aligned in IE. bt how do i insert that within this code?

<table width="500" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">

<tr>

<td valign="top">

<!-- the javascript has to be inserted here -->

<!-- iff condition is true then enter create the below column-->

<td valign="top" width="185">&nbsp;

</td>

</td>

</tr>

</table>

Is there another better alternative to do this?

thanks,
rams

There most certainly is... and it's going to be (relatively) painless!

Using CSS we can manage most things nowadays. If you could post the HTML (and any related CSS styles) for your table -- better still a link to a page online... then we can come up with a solution that doesn't require you resort to using Javascript for this problem.

Now... what you ask for is indeed dead easy to do in Javascript... I just reckon you would be better off seeking a CSS solution

<table width="500" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td valign="top">
<script type="text/javascript">if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf('Microsoft')>-1) document.write('</td>\n<td valign="top" width="185">&nbsp;</td>');</script>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

Cheers,
Jeff
