1.方法学：
最好是检测浏览器的最小版本，这样才不会当版本升级之后不断添加新的内容进去。
理想的方式：
if(isMinIE5){
//code
}
直接检查准确的版本的缺点：
if(isMinIE5||isIE6){
//code
}
但是当版本升级之后加入升级到版本10：
if(isMinIE5||isIE6||isIE7||isIE8||isIE9||isIE10){
//code
}
相对于直接检测浏览器的最小版本更麻烦
2.具体的步奏以及注释：（user-agent方法）
var sUserAgent = navigator.userAgent; //将user-agent字符串保存到本地变量之中去
var fAppVersion = parseFloat(navigator.appVersion); //获得本地浏览器的版本
function compareVersions(sVersion1, sVersion2) { //用split()方法将两个版本号转换为数组，用 "."作为字符的分隔符
var aVersion1 = sVersion1.split(".");
var aVersion2 = sVersion2.split(".");
//保证两个版本的各个数字的长度也一样，否则在较短的一个版本末尾添加0至两个版本的长度相等
if (aVersion1.length > aVersion2.length) {
for (var i=0; i < aVersion1.length - aVersion2.length; i++) {
aVersion2.push("0");
}
} else if (aVersion1.length < aVersion2.length) {
for (var i=0; i < aVersion2.length - aVersion1.length; i++) {
aVersion1.push("0");
}
}
//比较两个版本的大小，版本1大于版本2返回1，反之，返回-1，相等返回0
for (var i=0; i < aVersion1.length; i++) {
if (aVersion1[i] < aVersion2[i]) {
return -1;
} else if (aVersion1[i] > aVersion2[i]) {
return 1;
}
}
return 0;
