<browser:choice> <browser:isIE6></browser:isIE6>
 <browser:isIE7></browser:isIE7>
 <browser:otherwise></browser:otherwise>
</browser:choice>

Or the following:

<browser:isSafari versionGreater="5">
This text is rendered if Safari version is greater than 5.
For example, 5.0.1, 5.1
</browser:isSafari><browser:isFirefox version="3.*">
It works for all Firefox versions like 3.1, 3.6 and so on
</browser:isFirefox>
<browser:isMsie versionLower="7">Internet Explorer 5.0, Internet Explorer 6.0</browser:isMsie>

At the moment wildcards are allowed only for version attribute. Be aware that 5.1 is greater than 5 and 5.0 equals to 5.

You can call methods isMsie, isSafari, isChrome and others with UserAgentIdentService service.
