when I get the userAgent of my IE 11 use navigator.userAgent,I get this string: **

"Mozilla/5.0 (MSIE 9.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/7.0; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; InfoPath.2; .NET4.0C; .NET4.0E; rv:11.0) like Gecko"

** so when i get the version of my IE by jquery 1.9,it return msie9,buy the real version is ie11。but in my other pc ,I install the ie11 too,it return the userAgent is :

"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/7.0; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; .NET4.0C; .NET4.0E; rv:11.0) like Gecko"

but why they are different,in the top one ,the userAgent contain the word "MSIE 9.0"?

The second option is what IE 11 should report as the browser version:

Also, JQuery 1.9 isn't the latest JQuery version, so the browser detection logic might not be up to date.
