'document.setAjaxTrace(true)' causes crash in IE8

Compatibility view browser mode

Problem conclusion

In Compatibility View, Internet Explorer 8 reports version

vector, document mode, and user agent string as if it is

Internet Explorer 7;however, the user agent string also

includes a token indicating that the browser is really

Internet Explorer 8.

Previously we were checking version vector to insert

XDomainRequest wrapperScript into Broswer based on some

conditional check for IE8 version.

I have done changes to Include a new conditional check to

check for token "Trident/4.0" which remains same in IE8

mode and in compatibility view mode.

Temporary fix
