Detect whether HTML5 History supported or not

How can I check if the browser you are using supports开发者_C百科 the HTML5 history api?

As you can see here http://caniuse.com/#search=history only chrome +ff4 and several others supports this and I wish to do something else if they cant support this.

How can I make some kind of an if statement for this checking?

if (window.history && window.history.pushState)
