With the latest IE6nomore version, every visitor (regardless of browser—I've tested Chrome and Safari) now has to load all the browser graphics (opera, safari, ff, etc.), creating an additional ~20KB of resources required for page download, and an additional 6 resources attached to the page.

Is there any way the javascript could, after detecting the browser is IE6 or earlier, *then* load the browser graphic files, rather than load them with every page load for everyone?

For performance reasons alone, I might need to stop using this module.

That's what this module used to do but people complained http://drupal.org/node/701384

We either load all code for all browsers, or do a second fetch for just IE6. I'm tempted to revert to the latter.

Hmm... I just wish IE6 would die a quick death and get it over with :-D

I hear you brother.

Try alpha4. I've added IE conditional comments to avoid other browsers loading the banner markup and images.

I updated, and the images no longer load in Safari or Webkit - thanks for the update! Great little module.
