Some None Ie Browsers Are Showing True For Ie6 Browser Detection

So I'm running jQuery 1.3.2 (yep it's old and right now I can't upgrade). Problem is I'm trying to drop IE6 support for our internal site and upgrade the browser. I have this check

Solution 1:

Don't use browser detection. Feature detection is much nicer. And if you want to display a message or something to only IE 6 users, I would recommend using conditional comments instead.

<!--[if IE 6]>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        // do something...
    </script>
<![endif]-->

Solution 2:

From jQuery Documentation

The $.browser property is deprecated in jQuery 1.3, and its functionality may be moved to a team-supported plugin in a future release of jQuery....

It is always best to avoid browser-specific code entirely where possible. The $.support property is available for detection of support for particular features rather than relying on $.browser.

Altenatively you can use:

1. Write custome browser detector using navigator object
2. IE conditional statements, something like this

Solution 3:

Thanks all to helped me find what I was looking for, maybe this might help others

var ie6 = $.browser.msie && parseInt($.browser.version) === 6 && typeofwindow['XMLHttpRequest'] !== "object";
if(typeofdocument.body.style.maxHeight === "undefined" && ie6) {
    alert('Your browser is IE6');
}

Solution 4:

You can use this: <!--[If IE 6]> Your code here <![endif]--> will target IE6 only. http://www.unintentionallyblank.co.uk/2006/09/19/if-internet-explorer-then-do-something-else-a-how-to/

Solution 5:

if you want a line of script to find IE6 and below and you can't use conditional comments:

if('\v'==='v' && !window.XMLHttpRequest) { // do something... }
