the feature to detect browser info through jquery by using $.browser has been deprecated(in version 1.3) and removed(in version 1.9) .However you can simply use html to do this.

<!--[if gt IE 8]>
  <script type="text/javascript">
    //script for ie9 and above
  </script>
<![endif]-->

Good practice is to use feature detection instead of browser detection

In this way you look if the browser can handle the specific case, and then use that functionality
