Subject: RE: browser detection script
That's fine for JS but I think the question here was about layout of HTML
and CSS support. You can't use JS to tell if a browser supports the
HTML/CSS you're using without browser sniffing.
But I think the only real concern is NN4 or not NN4. NN4 is the only old
browser we encounter on a regular basis since for some reason people still
install it on new PCs. Most new browsers are consistent enough to not need
to browser sniff.
