[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/gabceb/jquery-browser-plugin.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/gabceb/jquery-browser-plugin)

A jQuery plugin for browser detection. jQuery removed support for browser detection on 1.9.1 so it was abstracted into a jQuery plugin
A jQuery plugin for browser detection. jQuery v1.9.1 dropped support for browser detection, and this project aims to keep the detection up-to-date.

## Installation

Include script *after* the jQuery library:
```html
<script src="/path/to/jquery.browser.js"></script>
```

<script src="/path/to/jquery.browser.js"></script>
Alternatively, you can use the plugin without jQuery by substituting `$.browser` for the global `jQBrowser` object.
