Old version of JScript with IE 6.0

[Guest]

The first table in this page:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...html/440f4924-f7a9-48e0-873e-bd599a93b437.asp

seems to imply that IE 6.0 should have version 5.6 of JScript/JavaScript.

Yet I recently had two separate incidents of customers with Windows 2000 and
IE 6.0 having problems with our web site because of the use of Array.push and
undefined, features that were added in JScript v5.5. Turns out these
customers had only JScript v5.1.

Is this normal or unusual?

Do I need to test for JScript independently of the browser?

Thanks.

This is not unusual with Win2K.
