Detect Internet Explorer using jquery

If you love jQuery like I do then here is the simple snippet that you can use to detect browser.

 

if (jQuery.browser.msie) {

    // do sth.

}

 

For detecting a specific version of Internet Explorer only: 

 

// Select Internet Explorer above 6

if (jQuery.browser.msie && jQuery.browser.version > 6) {

    // do sth.

}

 

// Select Internet Explorer 7 and below

if (jQuery.browser.msie && jQuery.browser.version <= 7) {

    // do sth.

}

 

// Select just Internet Explorer 6

if (jQuery.browser.msie && jQuery.browser.version == '6.0') {

    // do sth.

}

 

// Select just Internet Explorer 7

if (jQuery.browser.msie && jQuery.browser.version == '7.0') {

    // do sth.

}

 

// Select just Internet Explorer 8

if (jQuery.browser.msie && jQuery.browser.version == '8.0') {

    // do sth.

}

 

// Select just Internet Explorer 9

if (jQuery.browser.msie && jQuery.browser.version == '9.0') {

    // do sth.

}
