Could you not instead use php to detect the broswer, then simply not load the shoutbox in the send_column function?
This is how I originally thought it could be done. Like:
if ($v == "shoutbox" && $shout_friendly_brwsr) {
$this->shoutbox_loaded = 1;
}
But I'm concerned, and wasn't previously aware, of the same problem with Firefox.
Has there been any official word on this problem? Could there be a particular apache or mysql setting that contributes or alleviates the problem?
