Check if browser is Internet Explorer in jQuery

If you want to know that this browser is IE or not. You can check by following code:


<script>
function isIE() {
  ua = navigator.userAgent;

  /* MSIE used to detect old browsers and Trident used to newer ones*/

  var is_ie = ua.indexOf("MSIE ") > -1 || ua.indexOf("Trident/") > -1;
  
  return is_ie; 
}

/* Create an alert to show if the browser is IE or not */

if (isIE()){
alert('It is InternetExplorer');
}else{
alert('It is NOT InternetExplorer');
}
</script>
