as explained,
.support

.This is totally possible with support:
This also detects IE 6 however, if you don't want IE 6 to run this code block, you will need another flag to exclude it
A good reason for not using browser is it is a deprecated feature, and it will likely be removed to a plugin with version 1.9. (See the comments on the answer to How to detect IE7 with jQuery?)
"We recommend against using this property; please try to use feature detection instead (see jQuery.support). jQuery.browser may be moved to a plugin in a future release of jQuery" http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.browser/
