Why would $.browser be undefined?

Question

I am using a JQuery file < 1.9.1 and $.browser when utilized is showing undefined. When I call $ in the console I get:

function (e,t){return new b.fn.init(e,t,r)}

My header linking looks like this:

<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js" ></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="mobile.js"></script>

Inside of my mobile.js looks like this:

jQuery(document).ready(function(){
console.log('works');   
});

Now when I put $.browser or jQuery.browser in the Google Chrome console window I always get undefined. Do you know why this would happen? Any solutions?

`$.browser` was deprecated in 1.3 . Don't use it. If you need to, fetch the migration library. — John Dvorak, Mar 20 '13 at 17:01
"JQuery file < 1.9.1" — Less than 1.9.1 covers a range of sins. Precisely which version are you using? — Quentin, Mar 20 '13 at 17:03
The solution, as described in the jQuery docs, is to use feature detection instead. — Quentin, Mar 20 '13 at 17:04

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. – Gavin Stevens Mar 20 '13 at 17:17
This means it is also gone from EVERY VERSION AFTER 1.9.0.0 +++ Including 1.9.1.. it is gone man... interface broken, method depricated.. no longer supported.. – Gavin Stevens Mar 20 '13 at 17:18

1.9 is less than 1.9.1 (even if only by a little bit) – Quentin Mar 20 '13 at 17:02
