Netscape 6.2.3 vs Netscape 7.0

How do we know if the brower version is 6.2.3 or 7.0?

[m3cheng]

I used the method navigator.appVersion() to detect browser version before. But both 6.2.3 and 7.0 return the value of 5.0 to this method call... Is there any other way to find out the version of the browser so that I can distinguish if 6.2.3 or 7.0 is using?

Thanks...

I believe you can still do this by looking for the branch tag (i.e. rv.1.1). The below link should be able to help you out. The link will take you to the direct spot that you are asking about but this document should be read fully in my opinion.
