How do I verify version?

[Jane]

I need to find out what version of Javascript I'm running. I think
(not sure) it's 1.6. If that's the case then I need to downgrade it
to 1.5.

I work from home and my company wants me to do something that needs
ver 1.5 or higher, but not 1.6. Why? Who knows.

I'd appreciate some help.

Slavery and programming do not go well together.

If they consider you to be the expert, they should act accordingly.

Or is this a school assignment?

If it is IE, see <URL:http://www.merlyn.demon.co.uk/ks-versn.htm#SID>.


Safari is 3.1.2.

No, not a school assignment. There is an online training course that
I have to take. It's a total waste of time but I have no choice. In
order for everything to work properly I need Javascript 1.5.

Anyway, back to the original question. How can I tell what version I
have?

(a) Look at your browser
(b) Look up some table like

http://pointedears.de/scripts/es-matrix/#javascript

or

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript#Versions

or google "javascript versions"

Will tell you which version of JavaScript your browser supports under
the scripting/plugins section.

It would have to do that using User-Agent (browser) sniffing, a method known
to be unreliable at best.

And "Does not work in Internet Explorer on Windows due to a deficient
implementation of Javascript." under "Plugins" is just hilarious. (JFTR:
IE/MSHTML implements Microsoft JScript, not _JavaScript_, and this feature
is not part of the programming language but provided by the user agent's
object model API.)
