Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'msie' of undefined - jQuery tools

Question

I am getting the following error in Chrome dev console:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'msie' of undefined

My understanding is that it is because .browser is now deprecated in jQuery however I am using the latest version of jQuery tools and it is still giving the error, I checked in the js file and it is there.

How can I get around this so it does not give the error?

this error is insufficient. From what element are you trying to read this from? — Siddharth Gupta, Commented Feb 17, 2013 at 16:32
I haven't used .browser in my code at all. It seems to be detecting it in the jQuery tools file. — Colin747, Commented Feb 17, 2013 at 16:33
The browser object is not only deprecated in 1.9, it's gone. If jQuery Tools is still using it, then jQuery Tools is broken. — Pointy, Commented Feb 17, 2013 at 16:33
@Alexander that seemed to get rid of the error. You can put an answer up if you like. — Colin747, Commented Feb 17, 2013 at 16:42
The latest jQuery Tools has only been tested with jQuery 1.7. jQuery 1.9 is not compatible with the latest version of jQuery Tools; it's that simple. Dump jQuery Tools or downgrade jQuery to any version below 1.9 that works. Otherwise, don't expect anyone to update jQuery Tools, it's been without a developer for the last few years. — Sparky, Commented Feb 17, 2013 at 16:57

You can check out this solution by AJ. It's pretty straightforward, just copy and paste the following lines of code.

jQuery.browser = {};
(function () {
    jQuery.browser.msie = false;
    jQuery.browser.version = 0;
    if (navigator.userAgent.match(/MSIE ([0-9]+)\./)) {
        jQuery.browser.msie = true;
        jQuery.browser.version = RegExp.$1;
    }
})();

Reference:

~~$.browser on jQuery 1.9.x for legacy IE detection~~

This works Perfect! But I take it this should be used as a patch, rather than a solution right?

This answer is no longer correct, since IE11 does not have the MSIE token in the userAgent string.

The $.browser method has been removed as of jQuery 1.9.

jQuery.browser() removed

The jQuery.browser() method has been deprecated since jQuery 1.3 and is removed in 1.9. If needed, it is available as part of the jQuery Migrate plugin. We recommend using feature detection with a library such as Modernizr.

— jQuery Core 1.9 Upgrade Guide.

As stated in the Upgrade Guide you can try using the jQuery Migrate plugin to restore this functionality and let jQuery Tools work.

Use the following script tag in your jsp/js file:

<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.0.js"></script>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-migrate-1.2.1.js"></script>

this will work for sure.

make sure you have working internet connection. If you are using offline then download the js file at your end, and then refer that file.

Well I can see that it is hosted online... anyways thanks I resolved it with jquery.noConflict() as I had two versions to jquery being used on the same page.

Shouldn't use non minified jquery in production : check cdnjs.com for example. And use HTTPS instead.

I use below code after js file include and it's working now.

<script src="js/jquery-ui.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    jQuery.browser = {};
    (function () {
        jQuery.browser.msie = false;
        jQuery.browser.version = 0;
        if (navigator.userAgent.match(/MSIE ([0-9]+)\./)) {
            jQuery.browser.msie = true;
            jQuery.browser.version = RegExp.$1;
        }
    })();
</script>

I've simply added

jQuery.browser = {
    msie: false,
    version: 0
};

after jquery script, because I don't care about IE anymore.

Here is the jQuery Tools bug on GitHub. You can try one of the patches.

edit — it doesn't look to me as if jQuery Tools is getting much support. I personally would not begin a new project with a dependency on that library unless I were prepared to take over support myself.

+1, jQuery Tools has been a complete mess for the last few years. That it's not "getting much support" is very accurate and a huge understatement. I think there's only been one minor update since jQuery 1.3 and no developer for the last couple of years as well.

Agreed, does anyone have a recommendation for a replacement library? Something with a scroller, overlay and range input slider? I avoid jQuery mobile because it comes pre-styled. I have styled it before and it's a nightmare.

I've moved to just finding well written minimal libraries for each function I want. ie: range input slider: loopj.com/jquery-simple-slider, scroller/slider: bxslider.com. I find much better support and and overall smaller footprint finding individual libraries like these

As I don't plan to support old MS IE versions at all, I've simply replaced all references to browser.msie with false. Not a nice solution, I know, but it works for me.

(Actually, they appeared as !browser.msie, which could be omitted from the conditions.)

At the moment for jquery 1.7+ the latest jquery-ui is: <link rel="stylesheet" href="//code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.0/themes/base/jquery-ui.css"> <script src="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.0/jquery-ui.js"></script>

See this issue mainly rises due to browser navigation and version properties. For this you have to add just following code in function :

/* solution to undefined msie */
jQuery.browser = {};
jQuery.browser.msie = false;
    jQuery.browser.version = 0;
    if (navigator.userAgent.match(/MSIE ([0-9]+)\./)) {
        jQuery.browser.msie = true;
        jQuery.browser.version = RegExp.$1;
    }
/* solution to undefined msie */

For exapmle I am using it on click function, see it:

 $(document).on('click', '.remove_add_test', function() {
    var product_id = $(this).data('id');
    var thisproduct = $(this);
    
    /* solution to undefined msie */
    jQuery.browser = {};
    jQuery.browser.msie = false;
        jQuery.browser.version = 0;
        if (navigator.userAgent.match(/MSIE ([0-9]+)\./)) {
            jQuery.browser.msie = true;
            jQuery.browser.version = RegExp.$1;
        }
    /* solution to undefined msie */    
    
    jConfirm('Are you sure you want to delete record?', 'Remove Product', function(r) {
        if (r == true) {
            $.ajax({
                type: 'POST',
                url: 'scripts/ajax/index.php',
                data: {
                    method: 'removeproduct_fromcart',
                    id: product_id
                },
                dataType: 'json',
                success: function(data) {
                    if (data.RESULT == 0) {
                        $(".price span").text(data.totalprice);
                        $(thisproduct).closest('tr').remove();
                        $(".cart-number").text(data.productcount - 1);
                        $.growl.notice({
                            title: "Shopping Cart",
                            message: data.MSG
                        });
                       location.reload();
                        // window.location.href = 'https://www.youth-revisited.co.uk/payment.html';

                    }
                    // window.location.href = 'https://www.youth-revisited.co.uk/payment.html';
                }
            });
            // window.location.href = 'https://www.youth-revisited.co.uk/payment.html';

        } else {
            return false;
        }
    });
});

Use like blow

$(function (a) {

. . . . .then in your function you can using msie property like

if (a.browser.msie) 
{
}
else 
{
   $(settings.current).after(Uploadelement);
}

goodluck

I was getting this error while using JQuery 1.10 and JQuery UI 1.8. I was able to resolve this error by updating to the latest JQuery UI 1.11.4.

Steps to update JQuery UI from Visual Studio:

Navigate to Project or Solution
Right click: "Manage NuGet Packages"
On the left, click on "Installed Packages" tab
Look for "JQuery UI (Combined library)" and click Update
If found, Select it and click Update
If not found, find it in "Online > nuget.org" tab on the left and click install. If the old version of Jquery UI version is still existing, it can be deleted from the project

If you have jQuery defined twice, then you could get this error. For example, if you are working with Primefaces (it already includes jQuery) and you define it in other place.
