Is there a way using jQuery or Javascript to force a page to open in Firefox? For example, if the user has their default browser set to internet explorer, but they have firefox on their computer - open a new firefox window with the intended page. If so, I would need to check to see if they have firefox on their machine; otherwise, redirect to the mozilla firefox download site...
any suggestions?

"your_msg": "hello world"
},
"key_2": {
"your_name": "billy",
"your_msg": "foo equals bar"

new Date(2010, 3, 1); // that's the 1st April 2010!
Why does the month argument start from 0? On the other hand, the day of the month argument (last one) is a number from 1 to 31. Are there good reasons for this?

So, can I get an object from one page, serialize it, send it to server and then to another browser and finally see the same results in Firebug Lite (on that other client) as I would see on the first browser (with doing "console.dir(obj)")? Is it possible to do?

Client wants that specific thing and it doesn't make sense to code it from scratch.
Thanks.
