Conditional includes are handled in ColdFusion using <cfif> tags and browser detection code. Reverting to jQuery 1.1.2 for the entire site was an option I considered. I am under the impression that 1.1.3 is better than 1.1.2, unless you are using one of the browsers that crashes. I decided I didn't want to hold back progress that benefits the majority of users due to a small number of people running old software. I noticed that the official browser requirements are more strict than what I have in my notes from a while back. I have in old code comments that jQuery works with Safari 1.3, Firefox 1.0, MSIE 5.5, and Opera 8.5, but the Web site now lists Safari 2, Firefox 1.5, MSIE 6, and Opera 9. -Mike Chabot
