As many already posted in other questions (also in jQuery documentation), the old jQuery.browser.version is deprecated and works only in jquery1.3.

Do you know another simple way to detect it, that I can include in my code before:

function handleInfoDivPopupVisibility(dynamicEleId, staticEleId){

var parentContainer = $('headerSummaryContainer');

var dynamicEle = $(dynamicEleId);

var staticEle = $(staticEleId);



if(isIE() && parentContainer){

    if (jQuery.browser.version != 10) { // I need to find a way to detect if it's IE10 here.

        parentContainer.style.overflow = 'visible'; 

    }

}

dynamicEle ? dynamicEle.style.display = '' : '';

if(dynamicEle && staticEle)

    gui_positionBelow(dynamicEle, staticEle);

}

Before you say it's duplicated question of this or this, I'd like to reinforce that I don't want to use css hacks. Is there a way to detect it just as simple as I could do before?

if (jQuery.browser.version != 10) {...

In general it's a bad idea to check for browser version, it's considered a better practice to check for browser features. But if you're sure what you're doing:

function getIEVersion(){

    var agent = navigator.userAgent;

    var reg = /MSIEs?(d+)(?:.(d+))?/i;

    var matches = agent.match(reg);

    if (matches != null) {

        return { major: matches[1], minor: matches[2] };

    }

    return { major: -1, minor: -1 };

}



var ie_version =  getIEVersion();

var is_ie10 = ie_version.major == 10;

We have the following code in production, so it works and well-tested.

And yes, we did have a need to detect IE10, not just a particular feature that exists in IE10 but not in earlier versions.
