Not as nice as a bookmarklet, but it works, create a "keepieapart.js"
file with this:
if (document.all)
{
var detect = navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase();
var browser,thestring;
var version = 0;
if (checkIt('msie'))
{
browser = "IE "
browser += detect.substr(place + thestring.length,3);
document.title = browser + ' - ' + document.title;
}
}
function checkIt(string)
{
place = detect.indexOf(string) + 1;
thestring = string;
return place;
}
Then put this in the head, right after the title:
<title>Untitled</title><script src="keepieapart.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
hth!
cheers,
Mark
