Detect Metro UI Version of IE

Question

What\'s the fastest method, to detect User-Agent as metro UI version of internet-explorer >=10 ?

Answer 1

METRO IE never supports ActiveX or any plugin objects. Based on that the following script is tested & working fine.

//---------------------------Metro IE check-------------------------
    var errorName = null;
    function isBrowserSupportPlugin() {
        var supported = null; 
        try {
            new ActiveXObject("");
        }
        catch (e) {
            // FF has ReferenceError here
            errorName = e.name; 
        }     
        try {
            supported = !!new ActiveXObject("htmlfile");
        } catch (e) {
            supported = false;
        }
        if(errorName != 'ReferenceError' && supported==false){
            supported = false;
        }else{
            supported =true;
        }
        return supported;
    }
//----------------------------------------------------------------
