"Disable FLIR for IE 6" not working
Hi there,
Thanks for FLIR, it's great! I use it through the WP plugin, which is pretty handy.
I've been having a few issues getting it to play nicely with IE's various flavours. I think I've got it working now for IE7 (thanks to some helpful posts in the forums & a little tinkering). I'd like to just disable it for IE6, and allow it to degrade nicely. So I upgraded to the most recent release of the wp plugin, which includes an option to disable for IE6.
The trouble is, when I check this option, I see the following error:
Warning: get_browser() [function.get-browser]: browscap ini directive not set. in /home/my-site/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/facelift-image-replacement/flir.php on line 539
The error displays at the top of every page in every browser, and IE6 still uses FLIR. Any ideas for how to fix this?
Thanks!

It looks like that option requires PHP's get_browser function. There is information there for how to get get_browser() working. It looks like it is not enabled on your web host.
Check out Facelift v2.0 beta 3. The best version yet.

Thanks for that Cory - I need to fix the way that works in the plugin.

Thanks for a great plugin!
Do you have a fix for the disable IE6, everything works great in ie7 and ff.
In ie6 I'm getting a link colored border around my menu items and no text display. I systematically cut out possible conflicts in my css to find the problem, with no luck.
Changing get-browser() is above my skill level, unless I have instructions.
Thanks.

I looked into get_browser, and in order for it to work, you have to set up a file that's about 384k in size. I'm already doing a heckuvalot of processing on this wordpress theme and would rather not add more to the CPU load. So anything to check for IE 6 and below using another method would be really nice. Thanks.

Any update with this? I too can't turn it off for IE 6. Really need this to work in some way.

Re: "Disable FLIR for IE 6" not working
I have done a work around by removing the Javascript call from your flir.php (Lines 330 - 364) and then loaded the scripts paths in to the themes header only if the browser was not IE 6, by using some php. I know this is not the cleanest method, but it got it working for me. Look forward to a fix from you though :)
