#3773 Try to remove browser sniffing

[Jörn Zaefferer]

Check for $.browser.msie in effects.highlight.js can probably replaced
with a check for $.support.opacity

Same with the first $.browser.msie check in ui.tabs.js

Can someone verify those two?

Looks like that's correct for both cases.  Browsing jQuery core, I don't seem to see any code that does what we're doing (removing the filter attribute).  Doesn't removing the filter attribute cause problems if there are other filters that user applied?

[Brandon Aaron]

This is something jQuery core should fix or at a minimum provide an
authoritative solution. Removing the filter attribute wholesale will
create issues for people who are using other filters than just the
alpha filter... I believe that is a bit of an edge case though.

FYI ... this is on the jQuery 1.4 Roadmap notes:

True... Is it possible to check if other filters have been applied? -
In that case the ClearType issue won't fix anyway and we could leave
them alone.

Implemented those two, assuming it will take a while until a better
solution is available.

Thanks.  I'll open tickets to remind us to come back and clean those up at some point and I'll link them to the related core ticket.
