Is it possible to use jquery in your code for one browser (eg firefox) but then disable the jquery code for another browser (eg IE10)

Question

I have coded a site that is jquery heavy (animations, css state changes etc) that works perfectly on firefox, but has issues executing the jquery for IE. What I was wondering was is there a way of the jquery code automatically disabling when the site is viewed using IE?

Sure, you can use conditional comments in the head section of your page to include jQuery only for browsers that isn't IE :

<!--[if !IE]> -->
        <script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<!-- <![endif]-->

conditional comments

You might use a browser detect plugin, like that: Browser detect

For simple purposes, you could use:

function isIE () {
  var myNav = navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase();
  return (myNav.indexOf('msie') != -1) ? parseInt(myNav.split('msie')[1]) : false;
}

if (isIE()) {
    // no jquery
}

(from Detect IE version (prior to v9) in JavaScript)
