Browser Update

This is a little javascript that detects the user's browser and shows a warning message if the browser is too old.

If the user clicks the notification bar he is redirected to Google's "WhatBrowser" Page (no ads).

This is based on the www.browser-update.org script. See LICENSE file for more information.
