How about:

var versions = ["Msxml2.DOMDocument.6.0", "Msxml2.DOMDocument.5.0",
"Msxml2.DOMDocument.4.0", "Msxml2.DOMDocument.3.0", ,
"MSXML2.DOMDocument", "MSXML.DOMDocument", "Microsoft.XMLDOM"];

for (var i=0; i < versions.length; i++) {
  try {
    new ActiveXObject(versions[i]);
    alert("Using: " + versions[i]);
    break;
  } catch (e) {}
}
