Browser Version or Bug Detection
<p>I've recently seen some information about avoiding coding to specific browsers an instead using feature/bug detection.  It seems that John Resig, the creator of jQuery is a big fan of feature/bug detection (he has an excellent talk that includes a discussion of this on <a href="http://video.yahoo.com/watch/4403981/11812238" rel="nofollow">YUI Theater</a>).  I'm curious if people are finding that this approach makes sense in practice?  What if the bug no longer exists in the current version of the browser (It's an IE6 problem but not 7 or 8)?</p>
