Attached patch patchSplinter Review
Bonsai tries to sniff for NS4 and IE4. If it doesn't grok the useragent, it assumes the browser is capable of not much more than tables. The attached patch basically hardcodes use_layers=0 and use_dom=1. IE is still sniffed out to use the appropriate type for javascript. I pity the foo who still uses NS4 or IE4.

:( i still use n4 at times. i'm not sure i could even find ie4 except on my w98 partition.
> :( i still use n4 at times. Why? And you use it to access bonsai? Beyond not having the checkin comments, how does it look?
Supporting an unsupported browser doesn't make real sense. Which percentage of current websites NS4 is unable to display correctly anyway? 90%?
