What is the best way to handle browser-specific CSS file loading? Assume you are running in the context of a proper MVC framework.
Here are some options, you are free to discuss the pros and cons of these options as well as any other methods you know of, and prefer:
- Server-side solution: use the controller (e.g. servlet) to analyze the
user-agentheader in the request and return the proper CSS file in the view. - Use browser specific hacks to load files, such as:
<!--[if IE]> ... <![endif]--> - Load CSS files asynchronously in client side by inspecting user-agent and adding respective files
- Use a client side framework to handle browser-specifics (such as jQuery browser-specific css rules)
