I personally updated that document a few weeks ago, even just a few days
ago.

I thought it was more appropriate to give you useful reading on the
issue than a specific answer to a question which may proceed from a
wrong analysis, a wrong perception of a website difficulty/issue.
There are serious chances that several ways to detect MSIE 7 will fail
because many webpages rely on poor cross-browser pages to begin with. (1)
In a few weeks from now, I'm sure this newsgroup will have questions like:
"is there a quick test to tell if IE 7 is the browser?"
And the logical answer is you do not need some sort of script trick to
detect browser and browser versions to begin with if your code relies on
object/feature detection. That is the current best available answer to
the issue of cross-browser support.

that are not expecting version 7 of the browser. Often they helpfully
suggest an upgrade to an alternative browser or to IE5 or later."

On May 11th 2005, I rewrote the entire section of cross-browser
development and updated an example with a browser sniffing example which
would fail to deal with IE 7.
