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

Try $.browser, it will let you know if browser version is less than IE9

 var isM = false;
 $.each($.browser, function (i, val) {
    if ($.browser.msie && parseInt(val) < 9) isM = true;
});
