For anyone reaching this thread on Google, here is another option:

Using the script located at http://www.quirksmode.org/js/detect.html....

if (BrowserDetect.browser == 'Explorer')
{
    if (document.documentMode == 7 && BrowserDetect.version > 7)
    {
        // user is running IE in compatability mode
    }
}
