Usage

  1. Include the notice for IE users, it will be hidden by default
<div id="ie-notice" style="display:none;">Internet Explorer detected</div>
  1. Include the script (minified version below), which will make the notice visible if a IE user is detected
<script>function isIE(){var e=window.navigator.userAgent,n=e.indexOf("MSIE "),i=e.indexOf("Trident/");return 0<n||0<i}isIE()&&(document.getElementById("ie-notice").style.display="block");</script>
