I agree, which is why I called them horrible. UA-checking scripts also can't tell whether I've disabled JavaScript or image loading, so even getting the agent right is of limited use. > You can always use e.g. JavaScript if supported to treat UAs differently Can JavaScript tell whether image loading has been enabled? Is suspect (without having checked) that the navigator.mimeTypes[] property includes image types even when their loading has been disabled. A method analogous to navigator.javaEnabled() would be useful. --Jeff dLB = J-F Pitot de La Beaujardiere = delabeau@iniki.gsfc.nasa.gov = http://globe2.gsfc.nasa.gov/
