How to switch off JavaScript programmatically only for Internet Explorer 7?

Question

I want to turn off JavaScript using JavaScript (and/or jQuery) code, only if the page is viewed in IE7.

How can this be done?

Would be grateful for the magic code snippet!

Answer 1

You can check if ($.browser.msie && $.browser.version < 8) and not run your code.

Answer 2

Use conditional comments.

<![if !(IE 7)]>
    // Script tags here
<![endif]>

Answer 3

You can´t turn JavaScript off. You can however exclude IE7 by using Downlevel-revealed Conditional Comments.
