<tip type="Javascript browser detection in IE5 / Mac"
author="mark at mountain.ch">
When checking for browser version with Javascript, be careful when using
navigator.appVersion. IE 5.1.3 identifies itself as follows.
navigator.appVersion = "4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.0; Macintosh; I; PPC)"
navigator.userAgent = "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.12; Mac_PowerPC)"
Note the difference between the MSIE version numbers.
