Check if user is using IE

Question

Check if user is using IE

Check if user is using IE
javascript jquery internet-explorer browser-detection
I am calling a function like the one below by click on divs with a certain class.

Is there a way I can check when starting the function if a user is using Internet Explorer and abort / cancel it if they are using other browsers so that it only runs for IE users ? The users here would all be on IE8 or higher versions so I would not need to cover IE7 and lower versions.

If I could tell which browser they are using that would be great but is not required.
Example function

$('.myClass').on('click', function(event)

{

    // my function

});

jQuery javascript

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;

}

t's several years later, and the Edge browser now uses Chromium as its rendering engine.
Checking for IE 11 is still a thing, sadly.

Here is a more straightforward approach, as ancient versions of IE should be gone.



if (window.document.documentMode) {

  // Do IE stuff

}
