internet explorer 10 - JavaScript browser detection in IE10 -

i'm updating website design because doesn't work in ie10.

i using combination of conditional comments , javascript handle ie version detection, since ie10 has dropped former , haven't found reason ignoring latter, i'm seeking here. i've been reading thread:

detect ie version (prior v9) in javascript

but knowledge of javascript isn't far off zilch, i'm not sure whether should looking modify code or scrap , adopt , change code mentioned in url (and if so, how should that).

the code i'm using:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="barebones.css">    <!--[if lte ie 8]>     <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="ie.css">   <![endif]-->    <!--[if gt ie 8]>     <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="default.css">   <![endif]-->  <script type="text/javascript">     //<![cdata[     var appname = window.navigator.appname; if (appname !== "microsoft internet explorer") document.write("<link rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text\/css\" href=\"default.css\" \/>");//]]> </script> 

if helps can post site url didn't want people think i'm trying more site traffic or something.

i know code i'm using can refined bit rather things working before having spring clean.

ie10 on more 1 machine seems ignore javascript , don't know why. ie9 handles fine.

any assistance appreciated.

it's best when dealing these kind of issues avoid "broswer detection" , go "feature detection"

a library http://modernizr.com/ test specific features browser's compatible rather hacking around different versions of browsers.

that being said, ie10 tends standards compliant browser. can visit http://caniuse.com/ , find charts of various javascript , css features , one's supported in different browsers.

you'll find ie10 adheres great deal of these standards.
