The main problem with browser-sniffing with javascript is that it
assumes, erroneously, that HTTP_USER_AGENT always correctly reports
the browser name and version. It doesn't.
I don't know if this falls within the scope of what you're trying to
achieve, but instead of javascript you could simply use Microsoft's
conditional comments. They have the advantage of being executed --
accurately and only -- by Internet Explorer:
<!--[if lt IE 7]>
<script type="text/javascript">
alert('Not IE 7');
</script>
<![endif]-->
