I'm trying to show an alert when a user using IE6 uses my site. I'm thinking something like this will work:
<!--[if IE 6]>
<script language="Javascript">
alert ("The year 2004 just called - they want their browser back!")
</script>
<![endif]-->
I'd test this but I don't have a Windows box I can use ATM. Is this the correct way to do it?
Yes, that works:
Of course, you could use something like this, which is a bit more friendly.
This has already been answered but I really wanted to post something I did for this.
My personal website, have configured a similar script:
<!--[if lt IE 9]>
<script type="text/javascript">
location.replace("/ie/?next=/");
</script>
<![endif]-->
So whenever anyone with IE vesion less then 9, the browser redirects to this page.
This way to detect Internet Explorer version
<!--[if IE 6]>
<p>Welcome to any incremental version of Internet Explorer 6!</p>
<![endif]-->
OR
<!--[if gte IE 6]>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Javascript">
alert("Congratulations! You are running Internet Explorer 6 or greater.");
</SCRIPT>
<P>Thank you for closing the message box.</P>
<![endif]-->

Yes the code you posted should totally work. Maybe just add a semicolon at the end of the line.
And one more interesting way:

Perhaps this may be of some use to you.
#lowCssSupportNotice {
display: none !important;
display: block; /* IE6 sees this */
position: absolute;
left: 50%;
top: 50%;
width: 300px;
height: 300px;
margin: -150px 0 0 -150px;
}

I would like to set a height for a div only for one browser, so it doesn't look weird in Firefox or whatever.
Here is an example:
#example {
height: 200px; <!--How can I target Safari for example?-->
height: 250px; <!--How can I target Firefox for example?-->
height: 300px; <!--How can I target IE for example?-->
width: 250px;
background-color: #FFF;
}
<div id="example">
<img src="example.png">
<p>Just some text.</p>
<p>Click here to visit www.example.com</p>
</div>
I've already tried -moz-height: 250px; but it didn't work.
navigator.appName
it will return always the same value for all browsers. I've tested on Firefox, Chrome, and Safari all browsers show Netscape. But if you want to target specific browsers you can use this code
Firefox navigator.userAgent.includes("Firefox");
Safari navigator.userAgent.includes("Safari");
Chrome navigator.userAgent.includes("Chrome");
You can use conditional comments. So you tell the code to use a certain stylesheet for a particular browser. Here's an article about it.
Here's an example:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="normal_style.css">
<!--[if IE]><link rel="stylesheet" href="ie_style.css"><![endif]-->
Note: this only works with Internet Explorer. If you want to do it for some other browser you need to use JavaScript. Here's an example of JS:
<link rel="stylesheet" id="stylesheet" href="normal_style.css">
if (navigator.appName === "Mozilla Firefox") {
document.getElementById("stylesheet").setAttribute("href", "special_style.css");
}
You can access the navigator object and get the browser.
var nVer = navigator.appVersion;
var nAgt = navigator.userAgent;
Then
document.getElementById("example").style.height= y;
"y" it is a variable whose value changes depending on the browser.
For this, you can use JavaScript. There is a string that you can access called navigator.appName. You can just put this:
if(navigator.appName === "Google Chrome")
// Do whatever here
replacing Microsoft Internet Explorer with your target browser.
I really hope this helps!
I have the following example:
<style type="text/less">
#bg: black;
#fg: white;
body {
background-color: #bg;
color: #fg;
}
</style>
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript"
src="http://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/less.js/1.7.3/less.js">
</script>
<title> test </title>
</head>
<body>
test
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
alert("test");
</script>
</body>
</html>
It shows a JavaScript alert and white text on black ground in Firefox, Chrome and Opera. For some reason, it does not work in IE11: The alert is being shown, but the LESS parsing does not happen. I made the IE11 Developer Tools break on all exceptions, but nothing seems to go wrong.
The alert is here because I was worried that Internet Explorer might not be executing scripts at all, but this is clearly not the case.
Btw, I also tried this with the earlier version
https://raw.github.com/cloudhead/less.js/master/dist/less-1.3.3.min.js
instead of the one from cdnjs.cloudflare.com, no luck either.
As far as I know, LESS should be supported on IE11. I would be very grateful if anyone had any idea why it is not working.
Edit It seems like this may be a problem with my internet explorer configuration. I am on a Windows 2008 R2 machine with all my Internet Explorer settings at default.
Place your LESS code after the <script>tag.
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript"
src="http://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/less.js/1.7.3/less.js">
</script>
<style type="text/less">
#bg: black;
#fg: white;
body {
background-color: #bg;
color: #fg;
}
</style>
<title> test </title>
If you place it before you include less.js the browser doesn't know what to do with that piece of code. That is why it doesn't get parsed.
Another approach: remove language="JavaScript" on all <script> tags as the attribute has been deprecated.
Sorry for the title ,it is indeed confusing.
I have some javascript code that works in every browser except IE 7 and 8 (it throws errors). So as a work around I would like the code not to run on certaing pages of all browsers where its redundant.
I would like the solution to be in javascript because I only want to disable in some pages instead of apply the rule to all.
I think for example this function can help you to skip the javascripts on javascript side:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms537509%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
Or you can do this on php side also:
PHP: If internet explorer 6, 7, 8 , or 9
You can use IE conditional statements in the head tag to include JS only when the browser is IE of a specific version:
<!--[if lt IE 8]>
<script src="myscript.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<![endif]-->
The code is wrapped in a comment statement on purpose!
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms537512(VS.85).aspx
<![if !IE]>
<script src="script.js"></script>
<![endif]>
I really don't understand you question well. But if you want disable the script of IE
You can try this(for example):
For disabline script for IE -
<!--[if !IE]><!-->
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
// your inline script goes here
</script>
<!--<![endif]-->

For disabling script for IE 8 -
<!--[if !(IE 8)]><!-->
<script src="path/to/external/script"></script>
<script>
// your inline script goes here
</script>
<!--<![endif]-->
and
<!--[if !(gte IE 8)]><!-->
<script src="path/to/external/script"></script>
<script>
// your inline script goes here
</script>
<!--<![endif]-->

Removing a Script block :
set a id to your script,
<script id="sample">
...
</script>
and use this code,
$("#sample").remove();
I guess what you're looking for is document.location in combination with a browser detectio. But be aware that most browsers can fake the instances. If you're using jQuery I'd suggest you use the $.support property instead of trying to get the user agent.

do you know of any way to prevent a script i have on a web page to be loaded by IE7 only?
The script works fine in all other browsers so I just wanted to disable it on IE7.
Is this at all possible?
Alex
if(navigator.userAgent.indexOf('MSIE 7') < 0){
//do your non-IE7 stuff here
}
or even better
function DoSomStuff(){
if(navigator.userAgent.indexOf('MSIE 7') > 0 ) return;
//do your non-IE7 stuff here
}
maybe this works for you:
<!––[if !IE 7]>
<script type="text/javascript" src="different"></script>
<![endif]––>
Yes there is, using conditional comments:
<!--[if !(IE 7)]>
<script>
// Your script here
</script>
<![endif]-->
You can use down-level revealed conditional comments (with a bit of extra markup to satisfy validators):
<!--[if !(IE 7)]><!-->
<script src="myscript.js"></script>
<!--<![endif]-->
However, any good web developer would recommend that you use feature detection instead of browser detection for your scripts. It's also possible that your IE 7 problem could be easily solved, so perhaps you might want to post it as a separate question.
What's the shortest javascript code to sniff if the browser is IE8.
I want to do something special just for IE8
I don't want to wire up a library that gives me back all the browsers and the versions.
I just want to write one or two lines to work out if it's IE8.
thanks
zo
The best way I found is to use conditional styles, or conditional compiling:
var isIE8 = false;
<!--[if IE 8]>
<script type='text/javascript'>
isIE8 = true;
</script>
<![endif]-->
Then in your code, you can simply check this value:
<script type='text/javascript'>
if (isIE8) {
alert('Your browser is IE8');
}
</script>
You can do this in HTML, by using this:
<!--[if IE 8]>
<script type="text/javascript" src="IE8.js">
<![endif]-->
Also take a look at this tutorial: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms537509%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
In your HTML, you can include markup for certain IE browsers using conditional comments:
<!--[if IE 8]>
<script type="text/javascript" src="ie8_hacks.js">
<![endif]-->
