Serve Specific JavaScript/CSS to Browsers With Conditionizr
Conditionizr is an intelligent jQuery plugin, that detects the end-users browser and pixel ratio, allowing you to serve specific conditional JavaScript and CSS files they need.

With legacy browsers, we often see Conditionial statements wrapped around our HTML element, so the browser can use the HTML tag relevant to the browser. Conditionizr steps in to take this conditional approach one step further, detecting those IE versions, and adds the relevant class-name to the HTML tag. This means no more conditional statements on the HTML tag.
