Ricardo,
Good point, but it still doesn't answer the question for how to handle
applying say a png fix to IE6.
I can't simply say:
if (!$.support.leadingWhitespace)
{
// apply pngfix
}
Because this is for ALL IE versions. This is unacceptable. We still
need to know the version of IE and the support method doesn't appear
to have that option. Unless I am missing something...
