You're still missing the point. You'll never be able to securely
detect a browser version with $.support, it's not meant for that. In
your case you still need *browser* detection (unless you figure out a
way of testing if transparent PNGs are supported or not):
if ($.browser.msie && $.browser.version == 6){
// apply pngfix
}
Read more about feature detection and you'll understand what I mean:
