In the section

list[0] = '1.6.0';
} else if (this.testUsingActiveX('1.5.0')) {

Added the 1.8.0 like
if (browser == 'MSIE') {
if (this.testUsingActiveX('1.8.0')) {
list[0] = '1.8.0';
} else if (this.testUsingActiveX('1.7.0')) {
list[0] = '1.7.0';
} else if (this.testUsingActiveX('1.6.0')) {
list[0] = '1.6.0';
} else if (this.testUsingActiveX('1.5.0')) {
list[0] = '1.5.0';
} else if (this.testUsingActiveX('1.4.2')) {
list[0] = '1.4.2';
} else if (this.testForMSVM()) {
list[0] = '1.1';
}
