You could also use conditional comments in the HTML to grab entirely different script files:

<!--[if IE]> 
<script src="http://example.com/ie-specific.js"></script>
<![endif]-->
<!--[if !IE]> -->
<script src="http://example.com/real-browsers.js"></script>
<!-- <![endif]-->

If you are already using jquery you can use their API to detect the browser. Otherwise you can extract the users browser from the navigator.useragent property.
