The method we use is described here:

It's bulletproof in terms of Netscape 4 and can be optionally set to
serve IE4, as well. You combine the technique with a main style sheet
served up with @import and you use a syntax that either hides from
only Netscape 4 or from both Netscape 4 and IE4.
I would not recommend relying on JavaScript to serve styles to modern
browsers.
If anyone doesn't understand this technique, vis a vis Netscape 4 and
what the script is doing - Zoe will be happy to translate for me :-)
