How to detect a mobile device with JavaScript?

by

I know this answer is coming 3 years late but none of the other answers are indeed 100% correct. If you would like to detect if the user is on ANY form of mobile device (Android, iOS, BlackBerry, Windows Phone, Kindle, etc.), then you can use the following code:

if (/Android|webOS|iPhone|iPad|iPod|BlackBerry|BB|PlayBook|IEMobile|Windows Phone|Kindle|Silk|Opera Mini/i.test(navigator.userAgent)) {
    // Take the user to a different screen here.
}
