So you *can* still use the CGI that you're familiar with. For reference, Firefox/Chrome/Opera/Safari are all pretty much identical for this sort of work; and the recent IEs (9, I think, and 10) are following them too. There are trivial differences, but for the basics, it's possible to support IE8+, Chrome, Firefox back as far as the Iceweasel from Debian Squeeze (I think that's Ff 3.5), and so on, all from the same code. No per-browser checks required. ChrisA
