Eric -
That's an interesting feature - might be something to look in to. I'm
a little hesitant to add new features to $.support that we don't use
directly in jQuery core (otherwise there'd be every bug under the sun
in the support list).
On another note: You mentioned that this would be a good way to detect
for IE 6. That is counter to everything that feature detection is
designed for. Feature detection is supposed to be used on a
case-by-case basis. If you need max-height then you use the
$.support.maxHeight property to use it or provide a workaround. Using
it to simply detect if IE 6 is being used is a huge assumption and is
likely to cause things to break.
Is knowledge of having a working max-height a common need for jQuery
applications or plugins?
