Browser Validation and CSS

[TJ111]

I'm no pro when it comes to Javascript, so the problem might be with that. However, because only IE supports color gradients I have set up a basic Javascript to determine what browser you are using, and changing your CSS based on that. The IE CSS uses gradient backgrounds, but the other CSS uses bitmap gradients I made. However it seems that either a)Firefox is trying to use IE's CSS or b)my javascript isn't linking the CSS properly. Anyway here's what I'm working with right now (cookies for remembering validation will be added in later.) Keep in mind its a first-day mockup I'm working with. I didn't get much sleep last night so I'm hopingits something dumb I just keep overlooking.

IE's CSS

body
{
filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Gradient(endColorstr='#C0CFE2', startColorstr='#FFFFFF', gradientType='0');
}
td.a
{
filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Gradient(endColorstr='#FFFFFF', startColorstr='#C0CFE2', gradientType='0');
border-bottom:#000000 solid;
}
td.b
{
background-color:black;
}
img.a
{
position:absolute;
top:15px;
}

Firefox + Other browser's CSS

body
{
background-image:
URL('bg1.bmp');
background-repeat:repeat-x;
background-color:#bdd0e3;
}
td.a
{
background-image:
URL('bg2.bmp');
background-repeat:repeat-x;
background-color:white;
border-bottom:#000000 solid;
}
td.b
{
background-color:black;
}
img.a
{
position:absolute;
top:8px;
}

Javascript + CSS links

<link rel="stylesheet" type=text/css"" href="otherbg.css" id="otherbg" title="otherbg">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="iebg.css" id="iebg" title="iebg">
<script>
<!--
var browserName=navigator.appName; 
var browserVer=parseInt(navigator.appVersion); 
if ((browserName=="Microsoft Internet Explorer" && browserVer>=4)) 
  version="n3"; 
else 
  version="n2"; 

if (version=="n3")
  function setActiveStyleSheet(iebg) ;
else
 function setActiveStyleSheet(otherbg) ;
//-->
</script>

Here's what it looks like

Also just noticed my page content dissappeared in IE, lol I'll have to deal with later.

Don't use JavaScript for this, use Conditional Comments.
