I understand.  I was going to add something to the effect of "Devs
really don't like adding such server specific code" - don't know why I
didn't though!  It pains me to see HTML code on a website that has a
whole bunch of "If browser=whatever" sections.


I feel bad telling users to just live with the oddities and quirks.
When I see something like that I just swear at it and ignore it because
I understand the underlying issues; but users don't tend to have that
background, and to them it's an annoying bug that disrupts their life!

No, I don't know the answer!
