From: Pete Helgren
Alfredo has a more elegant design until someone builds a
plugin that will run ActiveX in other browsers. Then things
will get ugly...

Which begs the question, should we even care about the name of the user agent, or whether it's from Microsoft or Mozilla or whomever? Are we doing a survey? Should we write conditional expressions based on isIE? Or would it be better to write something like:

if (window.ActiveXObject) ..., which may not be supported in Firefox or Opera today, but maybe tomorrow.

Which brings me back to my earlier comment about just asking the DOM if it supports a particular element or method.

Nathan.
