How can I detect if the browser is an internet explorer or firefox or chrome? Is there an easy way like just using jquery. Because I want to limit the jquery calls if my user agent is internet explorer.
Please advise.
Many thanks.

jQuery.browser is deprecated in jQuery since 1.9.
There is a plugin for jQuery that adds this "back" to jquery. You will fid it (and documentation) at https://github.com/gabceb/jquery-browser-plugin
Install it by adding <script src="/path/to/jquery.browser.js"></script> after where you are adding jQuery.
then you can use the following.
$.browser.msie; //returns true if ie $.browser.webkit; //returns true if webkit-browser (Safari, Chrome) $.browser.mozilla; //returns true if firefox

Try jQuery.browser
Check if IE
$.browser.msie ? alert('Internet Explorer') : alert('Not Internet Explorer'); Or info for the browser that is accessing page
$.each($.browser, function(i, val) { $("<div>" + i + " : <span>" + val + "</span>").appendTo(document.body); }); Working example here
