title: jQuery 1.9 - How to migrate from $.browser.msie?
body: <p>I am updating an old project that references <strong>$.browser.msie</strong> . Moving to <strong>jQuery 1.9</strong> of course breaks this.</p>
  
  <p>How can I rewrite this code to get the same boolean value without having to include jQuery Migrate?</p>
  
  <p>The code is buried deep in an old javascript library we use that needs to determine if msie is running and then works on the knowledge. We'd rather not edit the javascript too much as it's brittle.</p>
