    A web browser should only process what is the standard for Internet processing which is the W3C standards for processing webpages. No CSS. No Plugins. No extensions. Just HTML. If you can't do it with HTML 4.0 or whatever we are up to, then it shouldn't be done unless you browser can handle it. And that is where browser identification code comes in. But at least make your code work before moving beyond.

    And I'm not a Troll. I'm just a coder speaking the truth,

    I like it because it is not the M$.

    If it was the M$ I would not like it at all.

    I would hate it so much because the M$ is bad.

    The IE of the M$ causes the problems.

    The M$ technology is there to rape us of our will.

    I have to go feed linux, my cat some m$-free food.

    bye.
