I can not detect MS Explorer using any form of JavaScript
I have tried several ways to detect MS Explorer with JavaScript but failed. Used alert in JavaScript without using codes for detecting Explorer and the JavaScript works. Why can't any of my codes work on any browsers?
var isIE = /*@cc_on!@*/false;
window.onload = function() Trident/.test(ua);
if ( ms_ie )
window.alert("This Explorer");
I tried several ways to detect MS Explorer using JavaScript.I used alert... in JavaScript and it worked. It works as long as I do not try to detect Explore. What am I doing wrong?

It takes a simple JS script to accomplish this for any borwser out there that supports JS.
For IE:
function isIE()
ua = navigator.userAgent;
var is_ie = ua.indexOf("MSIE ") > -1
if (isIE())
alert('It is InternetExplorer');
else
alert('It is NOT InternetExplorer');
Hope this helps.
It worked! Well, I will have to break your code down to figure out why yours works and not mine. Thank you very much.

You are very welcome. You never defined ms_ie in your code - that is probably where you went wrong.

One other thing. Why can't I eliminate the else statement and still have it work. I have never seen anything like this. Makes no sense

I had not realized that I was in Edge not explorer.
