You still seem to be missing the message: trying to compensate for
browser quirks by detecting specific browsers is a flawed strategy.
Browser detection is usually based on the user agent string, of which
there are over 30,000 registered at TNL.net.

Don't use it. Don't even consider detecting specific browsers for
javascript quirks. For HTML or CSS hacks, go to relevant forums. Often
the best solution is to simply avoid troublesome features.
