Browser sniffers are generally not a good practice. Even in this case I wouldn't use them nor recommend them for the follwing reasons:
IE 7 is supported whereas IE 6 is not. There is not much difference between those out-dated browsers, so I'd expectt that IE 6 can in fact execute and diplay most of the maps features. FF 3+ is supported whereas FF 2 is not. FF 2 is (compared to IE 6 and 7) a highly develepod and modern browser. So I'd expect that FF 2 is able to display all of the maps without problems. Opera isn't officially supported althought it's a modern and up to date browser - although with slight failures here and there. All in all I think it's not a sufficient reason to exclude this browser because it isn't supported. There are a few other Mozilla flavoured browsers whose abilities can be compared with newer Firefoxes, althought their identity (i.e .userAgent string) is different. Again no good idea to exclude them. On Jul 24, 9:28 pm, Joseph Elfelt <[email protected]> wrote: > Oops - Looks like a space sneaked into the link to the browser detect > code snip.
