I think that's a great idea, but I think the code needs expanding/correcting
to be functional (?)
reference: http://tech.irt.org/articles/js082/index.htm
this.lang=((this.ie)?navigator.browserLanguage:navigator.language).substring
(0,2)
of course it should be put after the this.ie evaluation, inside browser.js
This will return values like:
French ('fr'), German ('de'), Italian ('it'), Spanish ('es') and Portuguese
('pt') and English ('en')
I tested this in IE5.5 NS4.7 Ns6 successfully.
(BTW, has anyone looked into the Mac improvements for browser.js posted a
few days ago?)
Cheers,
Richard Bennett
