Testing for IE :p

[Beta]

Well, i've seen my fair share of people complain about crossbrowser compatibility. And, they always have their own ways of checking for IE. Whether it be the ActiveXObject, or even the document.all...maybe even an appName check...So, how do you check?For me, i'm trying to use this more often:

function isIE() {   if((new Array()).__proto__ != Array.prototype) {	  return true;   } else {	  return false;   }}

hehehehehehe

var browser = navigator.appName;if (browser == "Netscape") {	// netscape} elseif (browser == "Microsoft Internet Explorer") {	// ms ie } else {	// other}

I typically try to code for the W3C standards and throw in extras to include the IE users (though day by day, I'm less inclined to include them ):

function handleClick(e){	e = (e) ? e : window.event;	var target = (e.target) ? e.target : e.srcElement;	// target now has the element that sent the event	// regardless of whether the browser is IE, Firefox, Opera, etc.}
