function msieversion() {
var ua = window.navigator.userAgent;
console.log(ua);
var msie = ua.indexOf("MSIE ");

if (msie > -1 || navigator.userAgent.match(/Trident.*rv:11\./)) { 
    // If Internet Explorer, return version numbe
    // You can do what you want only in IE in here.
    var version_number=parseInt(ua.substring(msie + 5, ua.indexOf(".", msie)));
    if (isNaN(version_number)) {
        var rv_index=ua.indexOf("rv:");
        version_number=parseInt(ua.substring(rv_index+3,ua.indexOf(".",rv_index)));
    }
    console.log(version_number);
} else {       
    //other browser   
    console.log('otherbrowser');
}
}

你应该在控制台看到结果，请使用chrome检查。

如果你使用的是jquery版本>=1.9，试试这个，

var browser;
jQuery.uaMatch = function (ua) {
    ua = ua.toLowerCase();

    var match = /(chrome)[ \/]([\w.]+)/.exec(ua) ||
        /(webkit)[ \/]([\w.]+)/.exec(ua) ||
        /(opera)(?:.*version|)[ \/]([\w.]+)/.exec(ua) ||
        /(msie) ([\w.]+)/.exec(ua) || 
        ua.indexOf("compatible") < 0 && /(mozilla)(?:.*? rv:([\w.]+)|)/.exec(ua) ||
       /(Trident)[\/]([\w.]+)/.exec(ua) || [];

    return {
        browser: match[1] || "",
        version: match[2] || "0"
    };
};
// Don't clobber any existing jQuery.browser in case it's different
if (!jQuery.browser) {
    matched = jQuery.uaMatch(navigator.userAgent);
    browser = {};

    if (matched.browser) {
        browser[matched.browser] = true;
        browser.version = matched.version;
    }

    // Chrome is Webkit, but Webkit is also Safari.
    if (browser.chrome) {
        browser.webkit = true;
    } else if (browser.webkit) {
        browser.safari = true;
    }

    jQuery.browser = browser;
}

如果使用jQuery版本<1.9($。浏览器在jQuery 1.9中被移除)使用以下代码代替:

$('.myClass').on('click', function (event) {
    if ($.browser.msie) {
        alert($.browser.version);
    }
});

我只是想检查一下浏览器是否是IE11或更老的版本，因为它们都是垃圾。

function isCrappyIE() {
    var ua = window.navigator.userAgent;
    var crappyIE = false;
    var msie = ua.indexOf('MSIE ');
    if (msie > 0) {// IE 10 or older => return version number        
        crappyIE = true;
    }
    var trident = ua.indexOf('Trident/');
    if (trident > 0) {// IE 11 => return version number        
        crappyIE = true;
    }
    return crappyIE;
}   

if(!isCrappyIE()){console.table('not a crappy browser);}

使用modernizr

Modernizr.addTest('ie', function () {
    var ua = window.navigator.userAgent;
    var msie = ua.indexOf('MSIE ') > 0;
    var ie11 = ua.indexOf('Trident/') > 0;
    var ie12 = ua.indexOf('Edge/') > 0;
    return msie || ie11 || ie12;
});

几年后，Edge浏览器现在使用Chromium作为渲染引擎。 遗憾的是，检查IE 11仍然是一件事。

这里有一个更直接的方法，因为古老版本的IE应该消失了。

if (window.document.documentMode) {
  // Do IE stuff
}

以下是我以前的答案(2014年):

在Edge中，用户代理字符串已更改。

/**
 * detect IEEdge
 * returns version of IE/Edge or false, if browser is not a Microsoft browser
 */
function detectIEEdge() {
    var ua = window.navigator.userAgent;

    var msie = ua.indexOf('MSIE ');
    if (msie > 0) {
        // IE 10 or older => return version number
        return parseInt(ua.substring(msie + 5, ua.indexOf('.', msie)), 10);
    }

    var trident = ua.indexOf('Trident/');
    if (trident > 0) {
        // IE 11 => return version number
        var rv = ua.indexOf('rv:');
        return parseInt(ua.substring(rv + 3, ua.indexOf('.', rv)), 10);
    }

    var edge = ua.indexOf('Edge/');
    if (edge > 0) {
       // Edge => return version number
       return parseInt(ua.substring(edge + 5, ua.indexOf('.', edge)), 10);
    }

    // other browser
    return false;
}

示例用法:

alert('IEEdge ' + detectIEEdge());

在CodePen进行测试:

http://codepen.io/gapcode/pen/vEJNZN

我在2020年登陆这个页面，我看到直到IE5所有的userAgent字符串都有Trident，我不确定他们是否有任何改变。所以只检查userAgent中的Trident对我来说是有效的。

var isIE = navigator.userAgent.indexOf('Trident') > -1;
