</blockquote>



<p>I have historically used the $.browser property in my jQuery to determine the browser. I found it tremendously helpful and useful.</p>

<p>I also have historically linked to the latest version of jQuery. Like this:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>Well, apparently jQuery 1.9 is out not and the support for this property is REMOVED.</p>

<p>Does anyone know a good jQuery plugin to use as an alternative?</p>

<p>I do know that the recommended method is to use $.support, and I will use that sometimes.</p>

<p>But sometimes it's just easier to know what browser someone is using.</p>

<p>Can anyone help?</p>
