Browser detection IE (and possibly other browsers)

Description

If MEGAUPLOAD or similar plugin is installed jQuery.browser returns wrong IE version.

For example userAgent string for IE7 with installed MEGAUPLOAD plugin is:

Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1) ; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.30; MEGAUPLOAD 2.0)

jQuery.browser.version returns 6 instead of 7

First plus (+) should be removed from regExp and than it will work fine. So, this line:

(userAgent.match( /.+(?:rv|it|ra|ie)[\\/: ]([\\d.]+)/ ) || [])[1]

should read:

(userAgent.match( /.(?:rv|it|ra|ie)[\\/: ]([\\d.]+)/ ) || [])[1]

The solution you posted doesn't actually work with Opera. Here's one that passes all the jQuery tests (thanks Brad Greenlee!):

/.+?(?:rv|it|ra|ie)[\\/: ]([\\d.]+)(?!.+opera)/

See also #3169 (dup but essentially agrees on the regexp)

Tickets #3696, #3402, #2661, and #2413 are all related, but for different user-agents.
