 #8933 has a patch that is specific for thickbox, but there are other cases
 where jQuery.browser is erroneously returning IE6 where it is IE7 or IE8
 instead.

 Depending on if jQuery 1.3 fixes this or not, we might want to fix jQuery,
 i.e. where it answers IE6, we'd want to verify if it's not IE8 or IE7.
