Recommended Upgrade
I'm afraid I have to agree with Doug here.
The reason for detecting the various browsers is for COMPATIBILITY. It
is not intended to be used as a giant test to see which variant of a
spoofed AOL browser they are using.
If you can find an example of the API working on a specific platform
that requires a few browser specific fixes, send em on in. THEN, and
ONLY THEN is there any point in detecting the browser. Otherwise we are
just simply wasting our time detecting which non-compliant browser they
are using and they won't be able to see your page anyway.
