For your stated purpose, you should definitely use Progressive Enhancement instead of browser detection.

Since you have mentioned JQuery, why don't you use " if ($.browser.msie)" construction. I think this resource will be useful for you

You could use conditional comments to define a variable, and check if it's set on execution.

The syntax is <!--[if IE 6> <script ... /><![endif]-->. The content of the comment is invisible to all other browsers, so it's really foolproof.

You should just use a browser detection script and put a condition on IE6 that your scripts should not be executed. here is a link for browser detection javascript.
