Well, what I was referring to is that IE 5 flatly refuses to load a file
with a for...in loop in it, because it thinks it's a syntax error. It
throws a js error and doesn't load the file.
I suppose you could do a try... catch around it:
try {
document.write('<script src="prototype.js"><\/script>');
}
catch (e) {
// this browser sucks!!
}
But I'm not sure if that will work or not.
