How to detect what browser is being used with jQuery?

Question

I want to delete cookies whenever user is navigating away from my page.

Cookies should be cleaned when user delete tab/browser or user change URL and press enter. It should not be deleted when user press 'F5' or click other link in same page.

You can use the jQuery Migrate plugin and call the $.browser. It will work!

Using the plugin is easy; just include it immediately after the script tag for jQuery, for example.

<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.js"></script>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-migrate-1.1.1.js"></script>

JS:

$.each($.browser, function(i, val) {
  $("<div>" + i + " : <span>" + val + "</span>")
  .appendTo( document.body );
});
