This page (thanks Damon) is a good start. But too general:<br>

<br>
Ex: the 'switch' statement appears unsupported in Contact's ecmascript.
The string<br>
support there is also quite minimal. Such things are supported by other
browsers.<br>
So if you want to write something that runs in more than one browser,
you have<br>
to take a lowest-common-denominator approach and/or special case for
each browser,<br>
and do they all identify themselves to the script? We need to determine
what<br>
the common denominator is, and a have browsers identify themselves (if
they don't<br>
already).<br>

Contact and vice versa,
