How can I tell if someone browsing my site is using IE?

And more importantly, can I say,

If they are using IE7, or 8
then
display this image with padding of 6 pixels
else
display this image with padding of 0 pixels

Is that possible?

Conditional comments

thanks, is there such thing as an else statement with this?

No why would you need one?

Only IE supports conditional comments anyway and you can use a NOT syntax
[if !(IE7)] or you can use the "downlevel" syntax
