AW version 2.5.6 detection problems with IE 6 (and 7 ?)

Hello

in version 2.5.6 there seems to be a bug in the detection (lib\browsers\detect.js):

The line 80
else if (s.fontVariant){
matches also on the IE6 (strict mode) and gives the wrong browser type IE9 (htmlc is set with aw-ie9 and aw-ms9 instead of aw-ie6 and aw-ms6).
This breaks the tab and button rendering.

Sample Code to reproduce the problem:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml">

<head>

    <title>ActiveWidgets Example</title>

    <!-- ActiveWidgets stylesheet and scripts -->

    <link href="runtime/styles/system/aw.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" ></link>

    <script src="runtime/lib/aw.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

    <style type="text/css">

        *		{-moz-box-sizing: border-box;}

        html	{ width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; overflow: hidden}

        body	{ width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0px; padding: 50px; overflow: hidden; font: menu}

    </style>

    <script type="text/javascript">

        window.focus();

    </script>



</head>

<body>

<script type="text/javascript">

    var obj = new AW.UI.Tabs;

    obj.setItemText(["Home", "Favorites", "Font size", "Search"]);

    obj.setItemImage(["home", "favorites", "fontsize", "search"]);

    obj.setItemCount(4);

    obj.setSelectedItems([0]);

    document.write(obj);

</script>

<div style="border-top: 1px solid #999"></div>

</body>

</html>

Roland,

Many thanks for finding this - it is a bug, and it does break the AW 2.5.6 in ie6 and ie7. I am going to replace it with

else if (ua.match("MSIE 9")){

as there are no new css attributes in IE9 which are visible in quirks mode.

Will there be a new version with this bugfix in the near future or can you provide me a fixed runtime release of 2.5.6? I could fix the source myself but I wouldn't like to use the source in the productive system as it creates more traffic...

Thanks
Roland
