how do i detect ie 8 with jquery

Hi All,

I was on here looking for a JQuery snippet to detect IE8. This is what I found, see below:

    if(jQuery.browser.version.substring(0, 2) == "8.") { 
        $('#step-1').css({'margin-left':'8px'});
     }

I found this but it doesnt seem to be working...Can someone advise me where I might be going wrong...or have other suggestions.

Thanks

Answer 1

var isIE8 = $.browser.msie && +$.browser.version === 8;

if ( isIE8 ) {
    // do stuff
}

Answer 2

use $.browser.msie for detecting IE and $.browser.version for getting the version

Jquery has default functionality for this. You can read about it here.

For example:

<script>
    jQuery.each(jQuery.browser, function(i, val) {
      $("<div>" + i + " : <span>" + val + "</span>")
                .appendTo(document.body);
    });
</script>

Which will result in;

MSIE : true
version : 8.0
