Umm. Not quite. 

For example, your "ns" refers to Netscape 4. You are not very likely
to get much JS working there, even if you actually come across that 
browser in the wild.

Your test for IE works for more browsers than IE, which now supports
DOM methods anyway, as do other browsers that recognize document.all.

Browser sniffing is far too fragile - I suggest you use object 
detection instead.

Cordially,
David
