With just one line and less than 1kb which empower browser selectors. It gives you the ability to write specific CSS and JS code for each operating system and each browser.

If you want to target ie with different css then use conditional comments and css. There's no need for js.

If you are using jQuery, you can use jQuery.browser to get browser details.

In this example (http://eisabainyo.net/weblog/2010/09/01/10-useful-jquery-snippets/), I checked if the browser is IE 6 and displayed appropriate message if it is.
