Description
The jQuery.browser() function fails to determine the correct MSIE version.
User agent string:
"Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0; Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1) ; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.4506.2152; .NET CLR 3.5.30729)"
I'd recommend to use the browser detection by Douglas Crockford:

It works well in this case.
