Is there that much need to know which platform we are on, or which
JavaScript version we have? I don't see how you intend to cut down on if
statements and replace them with this alternative, are you intending to
split your API somehow?
I've been following the dev list for a while now and I'm learning a lot from
reading your posts Michael - but this time you've gone way over my head.
I'm a newbie, so please keep the rocks small ;)

Subject: [Dynapi-Dev] Conditional Comilation
I've been reading up on making IE test the code while compiling it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------
Conditional Compilation
Conditional compilation allows the use of new JScript language features
without sacrificing compatibility with older versions that do not support
the features.
/*@cc_on @*/
/*@if (@_jscript_version >= 4)
alert("JScript version 4 or better");
@else @*/
alert("You need a more recent script engine.");
/*@end @*/
This example uses special comment delimiters that are only used if
conditional compilation is activated by the @cc_on statement. Scripting
engines that do not support conditional compilation only see the message
informing of the need for a new scripting engine.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------
@_win32 True if running on a Win32 system.
@_win16 True if running on a Win16 system.
@_mac True if running on a Apple Macintosh system.
@_jscript_build Contains the build number of the JScript scripting engine.
@_jscript_version Contains the JScript version number in major.minor format.
would it be worth looking into using this as a method of reducing the amount
of code executed by IE and reduce the number of if statements required in
the executed methods?
