Hi Lofton, There's a hasFeature in the DOMImplementation interface, http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-DOM-Level-3-Core-20040407/core.html#ID-5CED94D7 Although the intention is good, it is rarely used. Script writers don't go into the trouble querying the implementation; or the implementation is not accurate about its feature set. Most script out there will simply do 'if IE > 5.5' or 'Netscape > 7.0' then ... -- Benoit mailto:benoit@itedo.com Monday, August 1, 2005, 10:33:21 AM, Lofton wrote: LH> This raises an interesting question.
