I see your point.&nbsp; 
 
With the way the compressor is now, the user can choose which way they
want to do it.&nbsp; If they want it all in one file, they set up the xml
that way.&nbsp; If they want to have a merge-ie.js, etc, they can set it up
that way too.

I don't think two files should be a big problem. We're
coming down from aleast 5-10 individual files.

way I suggested this

just stick with it 
that way.  This way also allows me to just include
"myfile.js" in my 
page and get everything I need.

dynapi.js
merge.ie.js
merge.dom.js
merge.opera.js
merge.ns4.js

in the browser we could then do the following:

&lt;script src="../src/dynapi.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;script&gt;
if(dynapi.ua.ie) {
  dynapi.setPath('../src/','merge.ie.js');
}else if(dynapi.ua.opera) {
  dynapi.setPath('../src/','merge.opera.js');
}else if(dynapi.ua.ns4) {

}else if(dynapi.ua.supported) {
  dynapi.setPath('../src/','merge.dom.js');
}else{
  alert('Browser not supported');
}

The dynapi.js file would be compressed and stored

   Thanks for the suggestions Kevin and Raymond,

   It looks like I can make my xml something like
this:

    <blockquote type="cite">
      <pre wrap="">       &lt;/input-group&gt;

and have my code generate the js:

   if (dynapi.ua.ie) {
      // mouse_ie.js compressed code goes here
   }
   else {
      // mouse_dom.js compressed code goes here
   }

I'll take the first of the group, and make the if.
Everything up to the last will be an else if
And the last, makes the else.

All input-files inside an input-group need a
compare-value, except forthe last one.

This looks like it should work.  When I hand code
