I want to determine if a browser is compatible to the CSS framework Bootstrap. I want to show a note, if the given browser doesn't support it (e.g. Internet Exporer 8). I prefer the feature based detection with Modernizr, but I don't know which aspects/features I have to test to guarantee the compatibility to Bootstrap.

I don't want to get Bootstrap running with IE8, I just want to test if the given browser supports all features that are necessary to run with Bootstrap 3. So IE8 issue with Twitter Bootstrap 3 will not help me.

Does anyone have an idea which features I have to test with Modernizr?

  • In this link http://getbootstrap.com/getting-started/#support the browser support is described. Why do you want to run your own tests? Your users will have older versions of Firefox / Chrome? – Tasos K. Apr 27 '15 at 07:53
  • Yes, some of our users may use older versions of Firefox or Internet Exlorer. We don't want use things like Respond.js or other workarounds mentioned in the support page to get Bootstrap running on older browsers. – hubae Apr 27 '15 at 09:38
  • Furthermore we don't want to do browser detection by the user agent string because it is [unreliable](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/NavigatorID/userAgent#Notes). – hubae Apr 27 '15 at 10:27
