Browser Specific Jquery

Question

I have had to write some JQuery specifically for IE6, fixes some bugs with compatability between IE6 and IE8. However I only want to apply the IE6 JQUERY to IE6 and not have it load with IE8.

Can anyone suggest a way of detecting IE6 and running the IE6 Specific JQUERY?

Answer 1

<!--[if IE 6]>
<script type="text/javascript" src="your_ie6_specific_script.js"></script>
<![endif]-->

You could also do this programatically:

if ($.browser.msie && $.browser.version === '6.0') {
    alert('ie 6.0');
}

Answer 2

var IE6 = /msie|MSIE 6/.test(navigator.userAgent)
