I'm playing with the DOM and I need to make the difference between good browsers (FF) and IE alike. What's the best way to detect that a browser has a buggy (IE) DOM implementation ?

froomzer, snag a library that abstracts the browser differences for you

[froomzer]

Koplaf, have a name that I can google for ?

froomzer, My standard suggestion is to take a look at how quirksmode does it.
It's not a library though.

[froomzer]

PPK ?

[montanarry]

Yes.

[froomzer]

Okay I'll find it thanks a lot
THink I found it. Basically he is sniffing the browser name.

[montanarry]

Not really
He has one bit of browser name sniffing.
And that's only to catch old and really shitty browsers that no one would falsely claim to be using.
