   Thank you for sharing this script! I added it to my site (and this might be a silly question), but how on earth do I test it? I am using new browsers, of course. Thanks again!

   Hi. It’s me again with another name suggestion for Browser Detection. I think a great name would be:

   Browservention

   It’s a cross between Browser and Intervention because I believe anyone not using the latest and greatest browsers needs an intervention.

   This works fantastically well. Thanks for sharing!

   The only thing that caused an issue for me was a missing ” after calling the JS (using the browser detection configuration).

   Why not shuffle the list?

   Array.prototype.shuffle = function () {
   var j, tmp, i = this.length;
   if (i == 0) return false;
   while (–i) {
   j = Math.floor(Math.random() * (i + 1));
   tmp = this[i];
   this[i] = this[j];
   this[j] = tmp;
   }

   browsersList.shuffle();

   Hi…how to make its pop once? because when user click remind me later, it will pop up again when user visit the website after that.

   Thanks

   This browser detection script is great! I have noticed a minor bug during custom configuration, however:

   Line 145 of browser-detection.js:

   noticeLangCustom.neverRemindMeAgain

   should be

   noticeLangCustom.neverRemindAgain

   Keep up the great work!

    Hi, this script is very useful. Thank you.
    I have a problem; It doesn’t detect IE 9 Compatibility Mode. But Trident token indicates browser is IE 9. (Trident/5.0) If the users view in compatible mode, I don’t want to show browser upgrade message. I am going to try fix. Thanks.

    Hi, finally I fixed the script, now it is detect to IE 9 Compatibility mode and gives alert to user. here is the changes.
    add Trident ;
    this.browser = ”;
    this.browserVersion = 0;
    this.Trident = -1;
    ……

    if (this.browser == ”) {
    this.browser = ‘Unknown’;
    } else if (this.browserVersion == 0) {
    this.browserVersion = parseFloat(new Number(RegExp.$1));
    this.Trident = navigator.userAgent.indexOf(“Trident”);

    if (this.Trident != -1) {
    alert(‘You are using IE 9 Compability Mode\nPlease Exit from Compability mode for best view.’);
    }
    }

    and add trident control to here;

    if ((notSupportedBrowsers[i].version == “Any” || (this.browserVersion <= parseFloat(notSupportedBrowsers[i].version) && this.Trident == -1))) {
    oldBrowser = true;
    break;
    }

    That's it :)

    Thanks.

    Your code classifies Internet Explorer 10 as an old browser. Will there be an update to fix this? Thanks!

    Nice Browser Detection script !

    In your Browser Detection Configuration page, the configuration script generated for custom message is not working. the var noticeLang must be set as \’custom\’ to correct the bug !

    Have a nice day !

    Is this detection script still actively maintained? We’re looking at adding something like this to some of our platforms, but it looks like this one has been forgotten. We couldn’t even get the download link to work (it produced a ZIP file that Windows said was corrupted).

    Miles,

    It is maintained (May 2013) and an updated version is in progress. I have emailed you the zip file. Let me know if there is still an issue. We will check the compression script for the download on the site. Thanks for the heads up!

    Hello!

    I have used the script and it works, but it creates a problem: my custom JavaScript/jQuery is ignored by the browser unless page is manually reloaded.

    Also,

    $(“#browser-detection-close,ul.bd-skip-buttons li button”).on(‘click’, function () {
    location.reload();
    });

    does NOT work. What should I do?

    Thank you!

    The Zip file looks to be corrupt. Tried downloading it from a few different browsers and I get the same error message. Can you take a look to see if the Zip file works for you?
