Hi Gregory,
The detection method you are using shuts out all the most recent W3C
standards compliant browsers by looking only for proprietary code. I would
continue to detect for document.all for IE up to 5.0, document.layers for
NN4x, and I would add: if(document.getElementById). Internet Explorer 5.5
and greater, Mozilla, Netscape 6, Opera 4 and greater, and Konqueror (not
sure which versions) are the most popular browsers that use the
getElementById() method.

Just an expert wanna-be here, but I've been quite amazed my Peter-Paul Koch
lately. I've been recommending the Javascript section of his site at:
http://www.xs4all.nl/~ppk/js/index.html
I'm sure he could answer your question better, but he must be busy right
now.
