Or you could use something like this (unnecessarily complex example
since you only need a single variable, but still):

    var
        iew=false,
        jscript=false;
    /*@cc_on
      @if (@_win32)
        iew=true;
      @end
      @cc_on
      @if (@_jscript)
        jscript=@_jscript_version;
      @end @*/

It isn't really detecting the right thing since it's really detecting
support for JScript type conditional compilation (not spoofed by any
other browser), JScript and Win32 platform, but you can use it to
detect browser versions if you really need. JScript version tells you
what browser... ie6 has version 5.6, ie7 has 5.7.
