The jQuery document tags $.browser as deprecated. So what’s the replacement for it?
If you really need good old $.browser
According to the docs, this feature was deprecated in 1.3,
and totally removed in 1.9, although it is still available in the official jQuery Migrate plugin.
If you want to do it right
Depending on browser detection is not a good idea. Feature detection is the way to go (Modernizr is a great tool for that). jQuery had a
$.support()method to provide some feature detection, but it is now deprecated as well. They also suggest using Modernizer.If you really need browser detection
Fixing browser quirks is not a valid use case for browser detection, but there are other use cases. Use any Javascript browser detection tool (like bowser), as this functionality does not depend on jQuery at all.
