jquery $.browser removed - code issue

I updated my jQuery from 1.3.2 to latest 2.1.0

Now I noticed I have this error on my page:

TypeError: Cannot read property 'safari' of undefined

And here is my code that has this:

if(p=='marginRight'&&$.browser.safari)

and

if($.browser.safari){this.buttons(false,false);

I read that from version 1.9 $.browser has been removed, can somebody please help, how can this be fixed? I googled and tried some things but didn't seem to find the right thing..

Thank you

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.

Reference: http://jquery.com/upgrade-guide/1.9/#jquery-browser-removed

Since it has been removed your most simple option here is to use jquery migrate

The easiest way is to just include jquery-migrate. This patches in all the functions they removed.

Otherwise, you have to rewrite your code to avoid browser detection. Generally, feature detection is recommended over browser sniffing.

you can detect browsers via native navigator object

if(navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Safari") > -1) {
  // safari
}
