// Revised May 7 99 to add is.nav5up and is.ie5up (see below). (see below).
// Revised June 11 99 to add addit props, checks
// Revised June 23 99 added screen props - gecko m6 doesn't support yet - abk
//                    converted to var is_ from is object to work everywhere
// 990624 - added cookie forms links frames checks - abk
// 001031 - ie4 mod 5.0 -> 5. (ie5.5 mididentified - abk)
//          is_ie4 mod tp work with ie6+ - abk
// 001120 - ns6 released, document.layers false, put back in
//        - is_nav6 test added - abk
// 001121 - ns6+ added, used document.getElementById, better test, dom-compl
