That was the one in my previous mail. That's not a problem. The problem
is calling the script via CGI. Setting the content type to
text/javascript doesn't work. Opera just opens a download box, and the
saved file contains the few lines of javescript code.

But when using text/html, the browser will execute the script, but also
show a new page which isn't what we want.

It's the same. Figuring out the user_agent is easy. But is it really
possible to test whether javascript is working/enabled? Well, I'll have
a look.
