<!-- Set a variable to determine what version of JavaScript we support. -->
<!-- This technique can be extended to any number of language versions. -->
<script language="JavaScript"> var _version = 1.0; </script>
<script language="JavaScript1.1"> _version = 1.1; </script>
<script language="JavaScript1.2"> _version = 1.2; </script>
<!-- Run this code on any JavaScript-enabled browser. -->
<!-- If the version is not high enough, display a message. -->
<body>
<script language="JavaScript">
if (_version < 1.1) {
document.write('<hr><h1>This Page Requires JavaScript 1.1</h1>');
document.write('Your JavaScript 1.0 browser cannot run this page.<hr>');
}
</script>
</body>
<!-- Now run the actual program only on JavaScript 1.1 browsers. -->
<script language="JavaScript1.1">
// The actual JavaScript 1.1 code goes here.
