I am constructing a webpage, with some basic Javascript. The script changes
depending upon the browser being used.

When I use this code...

parseInt(navigator.appVersion)

....the number returned is '4'. With this being IE version 7, this is clearly
wrong.

A lot of websites rely on knowing the browser version, so I would say this
is a pretty urgent (and easy!) fix for Microsoft to make.

Hi TJT,
And what is returned with version 6? What is returned by FireFox? Check your
idiom.
