Description

If the navigator.userAgent returns Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0) you will get a java script error. It seems that after installing some Microsoft Patches my userAgent string was set to Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0). I am not sure what patch did it but it will cause a problem related to a null pointer because of the way the detection routines parse the string. It is expecting a ; after the browser version. So it is not there you get a null back from the parse.
