How do I detect IE and Edge browser?

Question

Can\'t get Parallax working properly in IE or Microsoft Edge. I\'ve looked in forums and haven\'t found a solution to the problem. I\'ve come up with hopefully a solution fo

Answer 1

I use these functions, which work even if the user agent is set to something else.

if (document.documentMode) 
{
    console.log('Hello Microsoft IE User!');
}

if (!document.documentMode && window.msWriteProfilerMark) {
    console.log('Hello Microsoft Edge User!');
}

if (window.msWriteProfilerMark) 
{
    console.log('Hello Microsoft User!');
}

And this detects Chredge/Edgium (aka. Anaheim)

function isEdg()
{ 

    for (var i = 0, u="Microsoft", l =u.length; i < navigator.plugins.length; i++)
    {
        if (navigator.plugins[i].name != null && navigator.plugins[i].name.substr(0, l) === u)
            return true;
    }

    return false;
}

And this detects Chromium:

function isChromium()
{ 

    for (var i = 0, u="Chromium", l =u.length; i < navigator.plugins.length; i++)
    {
        if (navigator.plugins[i].name != null && navigator.plugins[i].name.substr(0, l) === u)
            return true;
    }

    return false;
}
