static Class UA

YUI user agent detection. Do not fork for a browser if it can be avoided. Use feature detection when you can. Use the user agent as a last resort. UA stores a version number for the browser engine, 0 otherwise. This value may or may not map to the version number of the browser using the engine. The value is presented as a float so that it can easily be used for boolean evaluation as well as for looking for a particular range of versions. Because of this, some of the granularity of the version info may be lost (e.g., Gecko 1.8.0.9 reports 1.8).
