IE7 Tab reporting wrong "navigator.appVersion/userAgent" / DebugBar forums

dan · 2011-03-17 04:24:26

I have a jquery feature that I only need to run in IE6. In order to check the version of IE, the javascript uses navigator.userAgent. When I run the javascript in IE7, it reports "MSIE 6.0" and not "MSIE 7.0" like it should.

Code:

alert(navigator.userAgent);

Hi,

What is the value when you go here :

http://my-debugbar.com/ietester/index_all.php

Also, I really don't know what I am doing wrong here, but it looks like nobody is seeing/reading the "Annoucement" section. What can I do to have people read this announcement ?

Thanks.

As you can see, the only one that is incorrect, is the navigator userAgent.
