How can JavaScript be used to display things differently in two different browse

Hey everyone, I started programming and was wondering how JavaScript can be used to display things differently in two different browsers? Thanks for all help!

I'd venture a guess that 99% of the time, that question is asked because of a problem encountered in one browser and not in the others and one wants to simply have that one browser do something different.

 

That's going to be the wrong way to do that 99% of the time.

 

Here's a gecko test:

And an IE test:

Make sure to read the first paragraph on that mozilla developer page. It really is the wrong way to go. jQuery released a new version of their library that has eliminated all browser sniffing from their code, and 99.9% of the time, everyone should do the same.
