Possible Duplicate:
What’s the replacement for $.browser

I rely on jQuery’s deprecated $.browser functionality to apply quirk fixes for certain browsers. Example:

if ($.browser.msie && $.browser.version < 9) {

This functionality was removed in jQuery 1.9 so I’m looking for an alternative. jQuery suggests using Modernizr for feature detection, but that plugin doesn’t appear to cover the functionality I need. What’s the (un)official replacement for this functionality?

    The jQuery.browser() method has been deprecated since jQuery 1.3 and is removed in 1.9

    From jQuery API documentation:

    Rather than using $.browser to detect the current user agent and alter
    the page presentation based on which browser is running, it is a good
    practice to use feature detection. To make this process simpler,
    jQuery performs many such tests and sets properties of the
    jQuery.support object.

    For a more advanced feature detection you shoul yse Modernizr as @Pointy suggested.
