Show an alert

[winzip]

I wish to give user an alert if the user is using IE9 or old IE browser.
in that case alert message is " You are using old IE browser : IE version_No. Please upgrade your IE browser "

What is the way ?

Google searching for “ie9 browser alert” revealed:

Do either of those scripts/methods solve your problem?

JavaScript can detect which browser is being used, but I wouldn’t use an alert() to display the message. Use a hidden DIV to contain the message and have it appear (along with an ‘X’ to close it) if IE is 9 or older.

how to do it in javascript ? Could u please post a sample.

I want to check if IE browser version is 9 or lower.

I already have Jquery.

I would probably use conditional comments.

<!--[if lte IE 9]>
  <script>alert("You are using IE 9 or lower")</script>
<![endif]-->

You can also do it completely in JavaScript using conditional comments.

<script>
/*@cc_on
  @if (@_jscript)
alert("You are using IE 9 or lower")
 @end
@*/
</script>

IE9 is last version of IE to support conditional comments so you could just say “if IE” .

I didn’t know you could do that.

Good point : )
