RE: browser sniffing in dwr

We could steal some code from Dojo, how much code do you think we would need to add?

Oh, probably just a handful of lines if we only want to detect IE. BTW: here's MS's own instructions on how to detect it: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms537509.aspx

Should we settle with an on/off IE detection, or go deeper detecting version and other browsers?

Doesn't Opera do silent document.all in the same way that Moz does?

No, I just tried this quick test in the address bar:

javascript: alert( !!document.all )

Mozilla -> false

Opera -> true

Best regards
