HTML :
- If your goal is to ensure Internet Explorer 8 clients receive content built and tested for Internet Explorer 7, use a greater than or equal to (>=) comparison rather than an equal to (=) comparison. Additionally, ensure that the document mode (such as quirks or strict) is compatible with Internet Explorer 8.
Examplefunction getInternetExplorerVersion()
// Returns the version of Internet Explorer or a -1
// (indicating the use of another browser)
{
var rv = -1; // Return value assumes failure
if (navigator.appName == 'Microsoft Internet Explorer')
{
var ua = navigator.userAgent;
var re = new RegExp("MSIE ([0-9]{1,}[\.0-9]{0,})");
if (re.exec(ua) != null)
rv = parseFloat( RegExp.$1 );
}
return rv;
}
function checkVersion()
{
var msg = "You're not using Internet Explorer.";
var ver = getInternetExplorerVersion();
if ( ver > -1 )
{
if ( ver >= 7.0 )
msg = "You're using Internet Explorer 7 or Internet Explorer 8. I should send a quirks or strict mode document."
else
msg = "You should upgrade your copy of Internet Explorer.";
}
alert( msg );
} - If you wish to target content exclusively to Internet Explorer 8—such as by sending a document in the latest rendering mode that follows CSS 2.1 guidelines—use a greater-than-or-equal-to (>=) comparison. An exact string match is not recommended because it is not "future proof." In other words, if there is an Internet Explorer 9, you will need to update your website at some future date to handle detecting that release.
Examplefunction getInternetExplorerVersion()
// Returns the version of Internet Explorer or a -1
// (indicating the use of another browser)
{
var rv = -1; // Return value assumes failure
if (navigator.appName == 'Microsoft Internet Explorer')
{
var ua = navigator.userAgent;
var re = new RegExp("MSIE ([0-9]{1,}[\.0-9]{0,})");
if (re.exec(ua) != null)
rv = parseFloat( RegExp.$1 );
}
return rv;
}
function checkVersion()
{
var msg = "You're not using Internet Explorer.";
var ver = getInternetExplorerVersion();
if ( ver > -1 )
{
if ( ver >= 8.0 )
msg = "You're using Internet Explorer 8 or later. I should send you CSS 2.1 content."
else
msg = "You should upgrade your copy of Internet Explorer.";
}
alert( msg );
