Greetings,

I used this with Modernizer to get more control over IE7 display issues. Google Fonts were having different widths in IE7, this script gave me options for work arounds.

NOTE:
If you use IE7 compatibility mode in IE8, be sure to wrap it in [if IE 8]:

<!--[if IE 8]>
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />
<![endif]-->

Otherwise this code will return "ie7" for IE9.

Cheers,
Adam
