how can make a script to not execute on a certain page?

Question

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.

is this static pages or do you have some kind of server side code i.e. php or ruby? if there is server side code, wouldn't be better to sniff the user-agent and render the page accordingly? — booyaa, Oct 24 '13 at 07:54
@LajosVeres:the thing is i have a common js include on every page which consist of all the js scripts including the one that gives me error.Only for IE I want to disable this script.Is it possible. — HIRA THAKUR, Oct 24 '13 at 07:54
If it just needs to be blocked for is, use conditional comments : `` — Anthony, Oct 24 '13 at 08:01

I think for example this function can help you to skip the javascripts on javascript side:

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!

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.
