使用下面的JavaScript方法:

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

    if (msie > 0) // If Internet Explorer, return version number
    {
        alert(parseInt(ua.substring(msie + 5, ua.indexOf(".", msie))));
    }
    else  // If another browser, return 0
    {
        alert('otherbrowser');
    }

    return false;
}

您可以在以下微软支持网站上找到详细信息:

如何从脚本确定浏览器版本

更新:(支持IE 11)

function msieversion() {

    var ua = window.navigator.userAgent;
    var msie = ua.indexOf("MSIE ");

    if (msie > 0 || !!navigator.userAgent.match(/Trident.*rv\:11\./))  // If Internet Explorer, return version number
    {
        alert(parseInt(ua.substring(msie + 5, ua.indexOf(".", msie))));
    }
    else  // If another browser, return 0
    {
        alert('otherbrowser');
    }

    return false;
}

对于任何版本的Internet Explorer都返回true:

function isIE(userAgent) {
  userAgent = userAgent || navigator.userAgent;
  return userAgent.indexOf("MSIE ") > -1 || userAgent.indexOf("Trident/") > -1 || userAgent.indexOf("Edge/") > -1;
}

userAgent参数是可选的，默认为浏览器的用户代理。

方法1: 美元。浏览器在jQuery 1.3版中已弃用，并在1.9版中被移除

if ( $.browser.msie) {
  alert( "Hello! This is IE." );
}

方法2: 使用条件注释

<!--[if gte IE 8]>
<p>You're using a recent version of Internet Explorer.</p>
<![endif]-->

<!--[if lt IE 7]>
<p>Hm. You should upgrade your copy of Internet Explorer.</p>
<![endif]-->

<![if !IE]>
<p>You're not using Internet Explorer.</p>
<![endif]>

方法03:

 /**
 * Returns the version of Internet Explorer or a -1
 * (indicating the use of another browser).
 */
function getInternetExplorerVersion()
{
    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 a recent copy of Internet Explorer."
        else
            msg = "You should upgrade your copy of Internet Explorer.";
    }

    alert( msg );
}

方法04: 使用JavaScript/手动检测

/*
     Internet Explorer sniffer code to add class to body tag for IE version.
     Can be removed if your using something like Modernizr.
 */
 var ie = (function ()
 {

     var undef,
     v = 3,
         div = document.createElement('div'),
         all = div.getElementsByTagName('i');

     while (
     div.innerHTML = '<!--[if gt IE ' + (++v) + ']><i></i>< ![endif]-->',
     all[0]);

     //append class to body for use with browser support
     if (v > 4)
     {
         $('body').addClass('ie' + v);
     }

 }());

Angularjs团队是这样做的(v 1.6.5):

var msie, // holds major version number for IE, or NaN if UA is not IE.

// Support: IE 9-11 only
/**
 * documentMode is an IE-only property
 * http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ie/cc196988(v=vs.85).aspx
 */
msie = window.document.documentMode;

然后有几行代码分散在使用它作为一个数字，如

if (event === 'input' && msie <= 11) return false;

and

if (enabled && msie < 8) {

我想这会对你有帮助

function checkIsIE() {
    var isIE = false;
    if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf('MSIE') !== -1 || navigator.appVersion.indexOf('Trident/') > 0) {
        isIE = true;
    }
    if (isIE)  // If Internet Explorer, return version number
    {
        kendo.ui.Window.fn._keydown = function (originalFn) {
            var KEY_ESC = 27;
            return function (e) {
                if (e.which !== KEY_ESC) {
                    originalFn.call(this, e);
                }
            };
        }(kendo.ui.Window.fn._keydown);

        var windowBrowser = $("#windowBrowser").kendoWindow({
            modal: true,
            id: 'dialogBrowser',
            visible: false,
            width: "40%",
            title: "Thông báo",
            scrollable: false,
            resizable: false,
            deactivate: false,
            position: {
                top: 100,
                left: '30%'
            }
        }).data('kendoWindow');
        var html = '<br /><div style="width:100%;text-align:center"><p style="color:red;font-weight:bold">Please use the browser below to use the tool</p>';
        html += '<img src="/Scripts/IPTVClearFeePackage_Box/Images/firefox.png"/>';
        html += ' <img src="/Scripts/IPTVClearFeePackage_Box/Images/chrome.png" />';
        html += ' <img src="/Scripts/IPTVClearFeePackage_Box/Images/opera.png" />';
        html += '<hr /><form><input type="button" class="btn btn-danger" value="Đóng trình duyệt" onclick="window.close()"></form><div>';
        windowBrowser.content(html);
        windowBrowser.open();

        $("#windowBrowser").parent().find(".k-window-titlebar").remove();
    }
    else  // If another browser, return 0
    {
        return false;
    }
}

这是另一种不用查看User-Agent就能检测IE的方法:

var usingIE="__IE_DEVTOOLBAR_CONSOLE_EVAL_ERROR"在文档中; alert("You are"+(use ingie ?"":"n't")+" using ie .");

我在测试我的网站是否能在IE上运行时偶然发现了这个，我打开调试器，点击文件夹图标。里面有我的脚本，还有一个我没有的动态脚本文件夹。我打开它，发现有很多browsertools.library.js文件。在它们里面，我发现了这样的东西:

document.__IE_DEVTOOLBAR_CONSOLE_EVAL_RESULT = undefined;
document.__IE_DEVTOOLBAR_CONSOLE_EVAL_ERROR = false;
document.__IE_DEVTOOLBAR_CONSOLE_EVAL_ERRORCODE = undefined;
try{
document.__IE_DEVTOOLBAR_CONSOLE_EVAL_RESULT = eval("\r\n//# sourceURL=browsertools://browsertools.library.js");
}
catch( eObj ){
document.__IE_DEVTOOLBAR_CONSOLE_EVAL_ERRORCODE = eObj.number;
document.__IE_DEVTOOLBAR_CONSOLE_EVAL_RESULT = eObj.message || eObj.description || eObj.toString();
document.__IE_DEVTOOLBAR_CONSOLE_EVAL_ERROR = true;
}

所以我用这些来测试用户的浏览器是否是IE。请注意，这只适用于你想知道他们是否有IE，而不是确切地知道他们有什么版本的IE。
