Faking "Internet Explorer" using other browsers

This is how they are checking the browser 

<script language="JavaScript">
 
  bName = navigator.appName;
  bVer = parseInt(navigator.appVersion);
  if ((bName != "Microsoft Internet Explorer")||(bVer
< 4)){
	  if (confirm("Sorry, you must be using Internet
Explorer 5.0 or greater to fill out this application
and to work with LiveOps. Do you want to download
Internet Explorer now?")){
		window.location =
"http://www.microsoft.com/ie/ie.htm";
		}
	  else
window.location.replace("../lo_corp_agents.htm");
  }
</script>

So you could probably cheat the page by downloading
the main page and setting bName = "Microsoft Internet
Explorer"
and bVer = 6.0.
