AJAX Detection Code, version 0.3Alpha

Hi Folks!

After a few days of testing, I discovered that the original detection
code I sent was returning erronious results and crashing some (older)
browsers.  Therefore, I have updated the code and have tested it with
browsers as low as 3.0 (which I highly doubt anyone is still using).

Attached is the new code.  It no longer redirects, but instead
displays a less annoying alert box with the result.  That result is
one of the following:

activex - IE only, use an ActiveX object
builtin - Opera, Mozilla-based browsers, & safari - use built in object
java - Java is enabled and can use an applet
iframe - IE 3.0Beta2+, Netscape 6.0Beta1+, Opera 4.0+ - use an IFRAME
ilayer - Netscape 4.0Beta2 to 4.8 - use an ILAYER (similar to an IFRAME)
none - no real "AJAX" capability, must use old skool forms

Please feel free to test and report any results.  I'm working on an
implementation of CPAINT that will utilize IFRAMEs and ILAYERs for
older browsers.  I've also reverse-engineered a Java applet to use as
well.

Enjoy!
