function msieversion() {
var ua = window.navigator.userAgent;
console.log(ua);
var msie = ua.indexOf("MSIE ");

if (msie > -1 || navigator.userAgent.match(/Trident.*rv:11\./)) { 
    // If Internet Explorer, return version numbe
    // You can do what you want only in IE in here.
    var version_number=parseInt(ua.substring(msie + 5, ua.indexOf(".", msie)));
    if (isNaN(version_number)) {
        var rv_index=ua.indexOf("rv:");
        version_number=parseInt(ua.substring(rv_index+3,ua.indexOf(".",rv_index)));
    }
    console.log(version_number);
} else {       
    //other browser   
    console.log('otherbrowser');
}
}

你应该在控制台看到结果，请使用chrome检查。

我把这段代码放在文档准备函数中，它只在internet explorer中触发。在Internet Explorer 11中测试。

var ua = window.navigator.userAgent;
ms_ie = /MSIE|Trident/.test(ua);
if ( ms_ie ) {
    //Do internet explorer exclusive behaviour here
}

Necromancing。

为了不依赖于user-agent字符串，只需检查以下几个属性:

if (document.documentMode) 
{
    console.log('Hello Microsoft IE User!');
}

if (!document.documentMode && window.msWriteProfilerMark) {
    console.log('Hello Microsoft Edge User!');
}

if (document.documentMode || window.msWriteProfilerMark) 
{
    console.log('Hello Microsoft User!');
}

if (window.msWriteProfilerMark) 
{
    console.log('Hello Microsoft User in fewer characters!');
}

此外，这将检测新的Chredge/Edgium(阿纳海姆):

function isEdg()
{ 

    for (var i = 0, u="Microsoft", l =u.length; i < navigator.plugins.length; i++)
    {
        if (navigator.plugins[i].name != null && navigator.plugins[i].name.substr(0, l) === u)
            return true;
    }

    return false;
}

这个可以检测铬:

function isChromium()
{ 

    for (var i = 0, u="Chromium", l =u.length; i < navigator.plugins.length; i++)
    {
        if (navigator.plugins[i].name != null && navigator.plugins[i].name.substr(0, l) === u)
            return true;
    }

    return false;
}

还有这个Safari:

if(window.safari)
{
    console.log("Safari, yeah!");
}

我只是想检查一下浏览器是否是IE11或更老的版本，因为它们都是垃圾。

function isCrappyIE() {
    var ua = window.navigator.userAgent;
    var crappyIE = false;
    var msie = ua.indexOf('MSIE ');
    if (msie > 0) {// IE 10 or older => return version number        
        crappyIE = true;
    }
    var trident = ua.indexOf('Trident/');
    if (trident > 0) {// IE 11 => return version number        
        crappyIE = true;
    }
    return crappyIE;
}   

if(!isCrappyIE()){console.table('not a crappy browser);}

下面我找到了一种优雅的方法，在谷歌上搜索——

/ detect IE
var IEversion = detectIE();

if (IEversion !== false) {
  document.getElementById('result').innerHTML = 'IE ' + IEversion;
} else {
  document.getElementById('result').innerHTML = 'NOT IE';
}

// add details to debug result
document.getElementById('details').innerHTML = window.navigator.userAgent;

/**
 * detect IE
 * returns version of IE or false, if browser is not Internet Explorer
 */
function detectIE() {
  var ua = window.navigator.userAgent;

  // Test values; Uncomment to check result …

  // IE 10
  // ua = 'Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 10.0; Windows NT 6.2; Trident/6.0)';

  // IE 11
  // ua = 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; Trident/7.0; rv:11.0) like Gecko';

  // IE 12 / Spartan
  // ua = 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/39.0.2171.71 Safari/537.36 Edge/12.0';

  // Edge (IE 12+)
  // ua = 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/46.0.2486.0 Safari/537.36 Edge/13.10586';

  var msie = ua.indexOf('MSIE ');
  if (msie > 0) {
    // IE 10 or older => return version number
    return parseInt(ua.substring(msie + 5, ua.indexOf('.', msie)), 10);
  }

  var trident = ua.indexOf('Trident/');
  if (trident > 0) {
    // IE 11 => return version number
    var rv = ua.indexOf('rv:');
    return parseInt(ua.substring(rv + 3, ua.indexOf('.', rv)), 10);
  }

  var edge = ua.indexOf('Edge/');
  if (edge > 0) {
    // Edge (IE 12+) => return version number
    return parseInt(ua.substring(edge + 5, ua.indexOf('.', edge)), 10);
  }

  // other browser
  return false;
}

更新SpiderCode的答案，以修复字符串'MSIE'返回-1但它匹配'Trident'的问题。它过去返回NAN，但现在在那个版本的IE中返回11。

   function msieversion() {
       var ua = window.navigator.userAgent;
       var msie = ua.indexOf("MSIE ");
       if (msie > -1) {
           return ua.substring(msie + 5, ua.indexOf(".", msie));
       } else if (navigator.userAgent.match(/Trident.*rv\:11\./)) {
           return 11;
       } else {
           return false;
       }
    }
