There's no escape for the function:


function wB() {
if (document.getElementById && !document.all) {
adBtype = "NS6+";return;
}
if (document.getElementById && document.all) {
adBtype = "IE5+";return;
}
if (document.all) {
adBtype = "IE4";return;
}
if (document.layers) {
adBtype = "NS4";return;
}
adBtype= "unknown to this programmer";
}

Actually I modified one I found; it actually was:

function wB() {
if (document.getElementById && !document.all) {
adBtype = "NS6+";
return;
} else if (document.getElementById && document.all) {
adBtype = "IE5+";
return;
} else if (document.all) {
adBtype = "IE4";
return;
} else if (document.layers) {
adBtype = "NS4";
return;
}
}

What if all the Booleans are false? You need to declare a global variable:
var adBtype="Unknown" // A suggestion.
But read the other comments, there are probably hundreds of different
browsers out there, some of which obfuscate their headers. IOW your
"adBtype" is just a guess.
