I have a little issue for Safary < 6. I'm not a Mac user, and I have no Mac in my office. And the Safari 6 is not available for Windows. What I need is to know the

$.browser.version

for the Safari 6 web browser. Mac developers, could you tell me that info? Thanks.

I'm sure you've been warned that browser sniffing is not usually the preferred method. That said, $.browser parses the user agent string. A glance at user agent strings from www.useragentstring.com/pages/Safari/ reveals Safari 6 as:

Mozilla/5.0 (iPad; CPU OS 6_0 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/536.26 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/6.0 Mobile/10A5355d Safari/8536.25

The part after AppleWebKit is where jQuery picks up the rendering engine version. So, in this case, it's 536.26. You can try this yourself by spoofing your user agent string. In Firefox, User Agent Switcher is an addon that does this. Go to http://whatsmyua.com to see what jQuery sees.
