How can I fix Unable to get property ‘msie’ of undefined or null reference error?
Switching back to the older version of jQuery can fix this problem. Updating jQuer-UI can also help.

- Open your project.
- Open a script tag and insert the following:
jQuery.browser = {};
(function () {
jQuery.browser.msie = false;
jQuery.browser.version = 0;
if (navigator.userAgent.match(/MSIE ([0-9]+)\./)) {
jQuery.browser.msie = true;
jQuery.browser.version = RegExp.$1;
}
})();
- Save changes.
2. Use jQuery Migrate
- Visit the jQuery Migrate GitHub page.
- Read the documentation and add the jQuery Migrate to your project.
- Check if the problem is gone.
