Is it somehow possible in Magento to display content (on the home page) based on which browser the customer is using?

We got a fancy home page with css3 and js using. Works fine in all browsers (checked) but it won’t work on the last browser, our client was mentioning, the Internet Explorer 8.

Unfortunately it’s not possible for us to get the issues fixed by loading an ie.css file.

Our thought was, to detect the browser of the visiting customer and to display him an other home page or cms block.

Is this possible? Conditional Comments or in a phtml file?

    The home page CMS entry hits 1column.phtml, 2columns-left.phtml etc depending on its configuration. These files are in your theme’s directory. You have full control over what to display in those files, i.e.

    <?php if( Mage::getSingleton('cms/page')->getIdentifier() == 'home' && preg_match('/(?i)msie 8/',$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'])): ?> 
Your content goes here. 
<?php else: ?>
Display normal content
<?php endif; ?>
