> Currently browser identification in
> dynapi.api.browsers.js explicitly identifies IE as
> version x (5, 5.5 etc) through the ie4, ie5 etc group
> of properties. If is.ie55 is true, is.ie4 and is.ie5
> are false.
>
> Consequently, code that has to check for features
> available in newer versions of IE has to be updated
> all the time.

> Case in question: the oncontextmenu event on IE 5 and
> newer versions is currently (rel 2.54) not handled
> correctly since the code reads (dynapi.event.mouse.js -
> line 155)
