If you need to know if an IE browser is used purely for the sake of implementing IE-specific css rules, you can simply put the following code at the top of your html file. Basically it places an tag with a css class for ie 6 through 9.
```




 <html lang="en"> 
```
This way u dont need any javascript to use IE-specific css code.
