So I'm starting to hear more and more about Web Workers. I think it's absolutely fantastic, but the question I haven't seen anyone really tackle so far is how to support older browsers that do not yet have support for the new technology.
The only solution I've been able to come up with so far is to make some sort of wrapper around the web worker functionality that would fall back to some crazy timer based solution that would simulate multi-threaded execution.
But even in that case, how does one detect whether web workers is a supported feature of the browser currently executing the javascript?
Thanks!
