Preserved Topic: quick question (Page 1 of 1)

could someone please tell me in straight plain english what these two lines of javascript mean? i know roughly what they do, but i need to comment them as to what the actual little individual cody bits mean if you know what i mean.....uh yea. here you go:

var dyn = (document.layers | | document.all) ? true : alert(msg);
var iex = (document.all) ? true : false;

thanx muchly in advance.

/*
sets "dyn" variable to true if visitor is running Netscape Navigator 4 (not 6) and MSIE 4+, otherwise it alerts visitor with text that's stored in "msg" variable
*/
var dyn = (document.layers || document.all) ? true : alert(msg);
/*
sets "iex" variable to true if visitor is running MSIE 4+, otherwise it's set to false
*/
var iex = (document.all) ? true : false;

Enjoy!
