[Javascript] Object Detection using Javascript.

[hakan at backbase.com (Hakan M (Backbase))]

You might find this handy:

bOpera6  = (!document.createComment && window.opera);
bOpera7  = (document.createComment && window.opera);
bIE5     = (document.all && !document.fireEvent && !window.opera);
bIE55    = (document.all && document.fireEvent && 
!document.createComment && !window.opera);
bIE6     = (document.all && document.fireEvent && document.createComment);
bMozilla = (window.controllers);

The only way I have (right now) to detect Safari is through the UA, I'm 
afraid.

bSaf     = (navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase().indexOf('safari') != -1);
bSaf12   = (bSaf && (navigator.productSub > 20030107));

All newlines are denoted with a semicolon.
