MSIE/MSN Detection

Is there any way I can differentiate between Microsoft Internet Explorer and an MSN browser? I’m getting different results between them which I need to compensate for, but I don’t know how to detect MSN. Thanks.

@KorNov 15.2006 — As a general rule, you should think otherwise: try to build a web page which is to be seen the same nomatter the browser, not to build different pages for different browsers. If, still, you need to use particular objects or methods (in javascript, for instance), you should rather detect the [I]existance[/I] of those objects/methods than to detect the browser's type.

Success!
