Description

Doesn't matter if I'm in 7, 8 or 9, I'm always getting '7.0' returned.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="../assets/js/jquery/jquery.js"></script>
  </head>
  <body>
    <script type="text/javascript" >
    if ($.browser.msie) {
      alert($.browser.version)
    }
    </script>
    <p>
      Hello World
    </p>
  </body>
</html>

I open this fiddle with IE9 and I get 9.

I don't! Is there any suggestion as to why the page would be rendering in 7.0?

That's a question you should ask on the forums or IRC.
