kinda, sorta unrelated, but use of a (even a simple) templating engine would
help multi-browser support a lot. If the logic is separated from the layout,
it's a lot easier to maintain too, from my webmaster'ing exp. :-)
Considering smarty, we could export several (or a lot) of interfaces to API
functions through smarty plugin's, and use them in a template like this:
---8<---
{* simple usage browser checking *}
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/style/base.css" />
{if browser_plugin.browser_short_name == "moz"}
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/style/moz.css" />
{else if browser_plugin.browser_short_name == "konq"}
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/style/konq.css" />
{else if browser_plugin.browser_short_name == "other-browser"}
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/style/other-browser.css" />
...
- --->8---
(That's very basic and doesn't show you all the magic and simplifications you
could make! ;-)
So you'd get base.css plus a custom css if needed (to fix browser bugs, better
support, etc).
Just throwing this out there in case it sounds like it could be a good
improvement. :-)
