@colinwalker I assume “JavaScript in anger" was browser related?

@hjertnes How did you guess? 😆 And it was far longer ago than I care to remember.

@colinwalker Join the club. People I work with give me strange looks when I talk about using PHP to serve different style sheets based on the USER AGENT string.

I think it is useful to not confuse JavaScript the language with the DOM API / Browser API.

@hjertnes you really should be doing feature detection, not browser detection :o)
