I'm using IE5, why does .appVersion show 4 ?

[martindavey]

I'm using IE5, why does the following return:-

"Microsoft Internet Explorer4"

var brow = ((navigator.appName) +
(parseInt(navigator.appVersion)));

this worked for me:

if(document.all){
t=navigator.userAgent.split(" &quot
realversion=t[3].substring(0,t[3].length-1))} jared@aauser.com

Be careful of what parseInt is returning. Does it return all ints in the string, or just the first or last one. If it only returns the last, then maybe you are using IE 5.4 or IE 5.50.4134.6004, etc.
