I would like the following code to run on all browsers except IE (every version).
$('#divid a').click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
});
I tried a few things from Stack but with no success.
like:
<![if ! IE]>
<script>
$('#divid a').click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
});
</script>
<![endif]>
that should work , make sure that this is AFTER the other code that is to run in all browsers
<!--[if IE]>
$(function(){
$('#divid a').off();
});
<![endif]-->
all that your code was doing was essentially checking is browser is IE then adding another click event which does nothing. use .off()
If you're not to be dissuaded, at some other part of your app, include this:
window.checkIsIE = navigator.userAgent.indexOf('MSIE') != -1;
You can now refer to "checkIsIE" as a Boolean variable that indicates whether the user is using IE.
Unclean and lazy? Yes; so is the fundamentals of what you're doing. In all honesty, I can't deny that even my own work has resulted in problems that can't be solved in the clean way, but please be reminded that the clean way is to check whether the browser in question supports the features you need from it. There are even frameworks that can help you determine if certain CSS features are supported (Modernizr comes to mind).
The above code does not detect IE 11 - and I consider that a plus, since a good solid bet says that whatever strange, old-IE bug you're trying to circumvent does not occur in IE11.
jQuery has $.browser object, see the documentation
this might help you
if(! $.browser.msie ) {
$('#divid a').click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
});
}
