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;
}

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;
}

还有另一个简单的(但人类可读的)函数来检测浏览器是否是IE(忽略Edge，它一点都不差):

function isIE() {
  var ua = window.navigator.userAgent;
  var msie = ua.indexOf('MSIE '); // IE 10 or older
  var trident = ua.indexOf('Trident/'); //IE 11

  return (msie > 0 || trident > 0);
}

或者这个很短的版本，如果浏览器是Internet Explorer，返回true:

function isIe() {
    return window.navigator.userAgent.indexOf("MSIE ") > 0
        || !!navigator.userAgent.match(/Trident.*rv\:11\./);
}

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);
     }

 }());

试着这样做

if ($.browser.msie && $.browser.version == 8) {
    //my stuff

}

Necromancing。

为了不依赖于user-agent字符串，只需检查以下几个属性:

if (document.documentMode) 
{
    console.log('Hello Microsoft IE User!');
}

if (!document.documentMode && window.msWriteProfilerMark) {
    console.log('Hello Microsoft Edge User!');
}

if (document.documentMode || window.msWriteProfilerMark) 
{
    console.log('Hello Microsoft User!');
}

if (window.msWriteProfilerMark) 
{
    console.log('Hello Microsoft User in fewer characters!');
}

此外，这将检测新的Chredge/Edgium(阿纳海姆):

function isEdg()
{ 

    for (var i = 0, u="Microsoft", l =u.length; i < navigator.plugins.length; i++)
    {
        if (navigator.plugins[i].name != null && navigator.plugins[i].name.substr(0, l) === u)
            return true;
    }

    return false;
}

这个可以检测铬:

function isChromium()
{ 

    for (var i = 0, u="Chromium", l =u.length; i < navigator.plugins.length; i++)
    {
        if (navigator.plugins[i].name != null && navigator.plugins[i].name.substr(0, l) === u)
            return true;
    }

    return false;
}

还有这个Safari:

if(window.safari)
{
    console.log("Safari, yeah!");
}
