How to detect IE7 and IE8 using jQuery.support

Question

How can I detect IE 7 and IE 8 using jQuery.support properties?

Is it possible to detect the browser versions using jQuery.support or just those blah blah blah brows

Answer 1

I added few lines of Javascript to make it work again:

jQuery.uaMatch = function (ua) {
    ua = ua.toLowerCase();

    var match = /(chrome)[ \/]([\w.]+)/.exec(ua) ||
            /(webkit)[ \/]([\w.]+)/.exec(ua) ||
            /(opera)(?:.*version|)[ \/]([\w.]+)/.exec(ua) ||
            /(msie) ([\w.]+)/.exec(ua) ||
            ua.indexOf("compatible") < 0 && /(mozilla)(?:.*? rv:([\w.]+)|)/.exec(ua) ||
            [];

    return {
        browser: match[ 1 ] || "",
        version: match[ 2 ] || "0"
    };
};

if (!jQuery.browser) {
    matched = jQuery.uaMatch(navigator.userAgent);
    browser = {};

    if (matched.browser) {
        browser[ matched.browser ] = true;
        browser.version = matched.version;
    }

    // Chrome is Webkit, but Webkit is also Safari.
    if (browser.chrome) {
        browser.webkit = true;
    } else if (browser.webkit) {
        browser.safari = true;
    }

    jQuery.browser = browser;
}
