Is there a way without javascript how to load a specific CSS file for a Mac or PC? I'm not worried about the browsers types, I've already dealt with that side of it, I just need to know if there is a way to load a Mac or PC specialized CSS script or not...

 

Thanks...

I don't think it is possible to figure out which operating system the user has using css, however the JavaScript route is very easy. Just place the following in your head;

 

<script type="text/JavaScript">
if (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("Win")!=-1) 
    {
        OSName="Windows";
        //get windows css file
    }
if (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("Mac")!=-1) 
    {
        OSName="MacOS";
        //get mac css file
    }
if (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("Linux")!=-1) 
    {
        OSName="Linux";
        //get Linux css file
    }
</script>

Not sure of the best/safest way to do this but you can detect it via JS with the navigator object, there are also many scripts already written for this.  Google "JS OS detection".  Here is an example:
