I didn't pay alot of attention to the code itself, but all this
discussion has got me considering a deeper look at the code.  I've done
quite a bit of JavaScript myself, and it is not uncommon to have a need
to identify the browser as well as the version.  I was wondering if
someone could point me (again) at the actual url, so I might look a bit
deeper into the code.  I'll gladly share my insights with the list. 
Anyone?
