How do I know which version of Javascript I'm using?
Click on this link to see which version your BROWSER is using: http://jsfiddle.net/Ac6CT/
You should be able filter by using script tags to each JS version.
<script type="text/javascript">
var jsver = 1.0;
</script>
<script language="Javascript1.1">
jsver = 1.1;
</script>
<script language="Javascript1.2">
jsver = 1.2;
</script>
<script language="Javascript1.3">
jsver = 1.3;
</script>
<script language="Javascript1.4">
jsver = 1.4;
</script>
<script language="Javascript1.5">
jsver = 1.5;
</script>
<script language="Javascript1.6">
jsver = 1.6;
</script>
<script language="Javascript1.7">
jsver = 1.7;
</script>
<script language="Javascript1.8">
jsver = 1.8;
</script>
<script language="Javascript1.9">
jsver = 1.9;
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
alert(jsver);
</script>
My Chrome reports 1.7

Wikipedia (or rather, the community on Wikipedia) keeps a pretty good up-to-date list here.
- Most browsers are on 1.5 (though they have features of later versions)
- Mozilla progresses with every dot release (they maintain the standard so that's not surprising)
- Firefox 4 is on JavaScript 1.8.5
- The other big off-the-beaten-path one is IE9 - it implements ECMAScript 5, but doesn't implement all the features of JavaScript 1.8.5 (not sure what they're calling this version of JScript, engine codenamed Chakra, yet).
