I'm guessing your post is tongue-in-cheek humor. That's okay. However, it is not necessary to build multiple versions, not even for multiple languages. If one writes code adhering to W3C standards, browser *sniffing* is not required at all. This is not difficult. (Re the languages, the content is contained in a database and the particular content is read and displayed by server-side scripts and based on user choice of the language.) -- -bts -Four wheels carry the body; two wheels move the soul _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
