nonsense.

what about capabilities or lack. I have a web-based application I support
that uses client-side VBscript. I need to check the user is browsing with
IE. Also, the same app has a page with three horizontal frames, the middle
of which is composed of two vertical frames... Netscape doesn't like it, but
I need to check otherwise the user sees a load of rubbish.

not interested in the "my browser is better than your brower" argument. The
app is designed for IE and not interested in supporting any other. The
number of users this affects is tiny.
