Why Detect Browser?

what is the reason for having a javascript to detect what the persons browser is before they can upload a vmu file? why have it at all? could anything bad happen with out it?

the javascript enter a different form tag depening on the browser.

Planetweb is most like a PC in this aspect, uploading a file requires an encryption type listed in the form tag (always multipart/form-data if my memory serves me correctly), whereas DreamKey and Dream Passport do not use the standards set and do not send boundries with the upload, thus you can not have the enc-type listed…

so basicly, if you want the uploader to be compatable with all of the browsers, you need it… I will get to making just a standard HTML page for both browsers if it isn’t neccessary to have that kind of usability.

Oh, and once I’m sure that it’s fool-proof, I’m releasing the version of the uploader that’s at my website, including all of the directory support, search abilites, and multimedia previewing.
