able to correctly render your code.
back in the day, when rollover scripts were the 'big thing', not all
browsers supported images as objects. instead of testing for each browser,
the standard test was:
if (document.images)
based on that conditional, any browser that supported the image object would
support your rollovers.
I don't do too much DHTML, so I'm really not sure what kind of object
detection you'd need to do today (nor do I know specifically what
functionality you're going for).
look at the source for some DHTML menus. You'll see things like:
if (document.all)
or
if (document.layers)
I know this doesn't completely answer your question...but hopefully it'll be
enough to give you a head start.

then I can whip this puppy up in a few minutes (I'm sure it's just looking
at the part in brakets for "MSIE" etc....but I know there are some odd ones.
