Ah, ok.
If your only trying to detect IE, the core styles skin object is ok.
If you need more options, you should use the stylehelper skin object.
It can detect all browsers (contrary to the styles SKO) and you can pass it a version too:
http://dnnskinextensions.codeplex.com...

It allows you to add JS or CSS files to the head of the page and much more.

Documentation here: http://bit.ly/ihe0KG

This would load a stylesheet for ie8-:
<%@ Register TagPrefix="fortyfingers" TagName="STYLEHELPER" Src="~/DesktopModules/40Fingers/SkinObjects/StyleHelper/StyleHelper.ascx" %>


(but you should obviously install the skin object first :-)

I'm working on cross browser compatibility. I've tried some of the standard methods and they either wouldn't work or they end up breaking a different browser even more. So I decided to go with what that other developer did on the other project. He added a script block to the skin that pulls the current browser and loads the proper css file. It's actually easier than it seems in practice...if I can get it to work. But, like I said, I can't get it to load a custom css at all much less dynamically.

Here's what he did:
