In this code something is wrong (file: functions/ functions_common.asp )

'*****************************
'***** Internet Explorer *****
'*****************************

'See if MSIE is found in the user agent string then the broser is not a MAC or Opera pretending to be IE
If InStr(1, strUserAgent, "MSIE", 1) AND InStr(1, strUserAgent, "MAC", 1) = 0 AND InStr(1, strUserAgent, "Opera", 1) = 0 Then

'Now we know this is Windows IE we need to see if the version number is 5
If Trim(Mid(strUserAgent, CInt(inStr(1, strUserAgent, "MSIE", 1)+5), 3)) = "5.0" Then

RTEenabled = "winIE5"

'Now we know this is Windows IE we need to see if the version number is above 5
ElseIf Trim(Mid(strUserAgent, CInt(inStr(1, strUserAgent, "MSIE", 1)+5), 3)) => 5.5 Then

RTEenabled = "winIE"

'Else the IE version is below 5 so return na
Else

RTEenabled = "false"
End If

In explorer 6 with SP1 the script failes when trying to post a new topic, file "post_message_form.asp" returns a blank page with source that says :

(quoted)
p>Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a000d'

Type mismatch: '[string: "6.0"]'

/forum/functions/functions_common.asp ..

(/quoted)

The line reference is marked with bold red.
Any suggestions?

If you search the forum this has been asked quite a number of times and solutions have been posted!!!

It's all down to your server using a different sign other than a period (.) for decimal numbers.
