ie8 as ie7 detection: here's the fix

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Place this function:

        if($.browser.msie){
            function getIEVersion()
            {
                var rv = -1; // Return value assumes failure.
                if (navigator.appName == 'Microsoft Internet Explorer'){
                    var ua = navigator.userAgent;
                    var re  = new RegExp("MSIE ([0-9]{1,}[\.0-9]{0,})");
                    if (re.exec(ua) != null)
                    rv = parseFloat( RegExp.$1 );
                }
                return rv;
            }
            var msieVersion=getIEVersion();
        }

Replace each occurrence of

($.browser.msie && ie6) and ($.browser.msie && ie7)

with

($.browser.msie && msieVersion==6) and ($.browser.msie && msieVersion==7)

Thank you, working perfectly. Please include this fix in the next version and 
remove the now obsolete ie6 and ie7 vars.
