Anyways....thanks to all for their advice...I am now re-inventing the wheel ;-)
I've found various databases of user_agents and I will use that to make a simple chunk of CF code to read CGI.User_Agent and look for the browsers I want to let in (or warn that their browser is untested). Basically IE 4/5/6 and Netscape 7 get in...NS 4 gets told to get a new browser...hehe...and all others get the warning "site not tested with oyur browser and it may not look/function as intended....if it doesn't we ain't gonna help you" or something along those lines ;-)

You use certain functions, right? Just test for those :-)
Instead of (pseudocode):
function getIt(It) {
return document.getElementById(It);
}
Use:
function getIt(It) {
if (document.getElementById) {
return document.getElementById(It);
}
else {
redirectLousyBrowser();
return false;
}
}
