Maybe a feature test like this one could be useful:
if($.browser.msie){
// IE stuff
if(Object.prototype.toString.call(self.JSON) === "[object JSON]"){
// IE8 stuff
} else {
// IE < 8 stuff
}
}
rather than a sniff, above code assumes JSON is native only in IE8 or
greater and there is no way to obtain the same result with every other IE
(or generally speaking every other browser)
Hope this helps.
