You probably have a normal site and you want to redirect to a mobile site if certain conditions are met, like the screen is very small, or the content is zoomed out to fit on a large “virtual” screen in a small physical space. So, why not check for those conditions instead of testing a … Read more
The problem is the user agent will always have “Chrome” whether it is the desktop or mobile version. So you have to check the more specific case first. $(document).ready(function(){ var ua = navigator.userAgent; if(/Android|webOS|iPhone|iPad|iPod|BlackBerry|IEMobile|Opera Mini|Mobile|mobile|CriOS/i.test(ua)) $(‘a.mobile-other’).show(); else if(/Chrome/i.test(ua)) $(‘a.chrome’).show(); else $(‘a.desktop-other’).show(); });
The jQuery documentation for jQuery.browser shows the following warning. (Emphasis is mine.) Because $.browser uses navigator.userAgent to determine the platform, it is vulnerable to spoofing by the user or misrepresentation by the browser itself. It is always best to avoid browser-specific code entirely where possible. Instead of relying on $.browser it’s better to use libraries … Read more
Try to detect features instead of a specific browser. It’s more future-proof. Only rarely should you use browser detection. With that out of the way: one option is to use a library (there are many intricacies to User Agent strings), or alternatively to parse window.navigator.userAgent manually. Using a parser library # https://github.com/faisalman/ua-parser-js. var parser = … Read more
To target Edge (version < 79), we can check for -ms-ime-align support, Edge being the only Microsoft browser that supports this property: @supports (-ms-ime-align: auto) { .selector { color: red; } } Or this one-liner (that one works on Edge and all IEs also): _:-ms-lang(x), .selector { color: red; } Further explanation, including variants to … Read more
You can explicitly detect IE11 with the following check (using feature detection): if (Object.hasOwnProperty.call(window, “ActiveXObject”) && !window.ActiveXObject) { // is IE11 } Explanation: All versions of IE (except really old ones) have window.ActiveXObject property present. IE11, however hides this property from DOM and that property is now undefined. But the property itself is present within … Read more
if (Request.Browser.Type.Contains(“Firefox”)) // replace with your check { … } else if (Request.Browser.Type.ToUpper().Contains(“IE”)) // replace with your check { if (Request.Browser.MajorVersion < 7) { DoSomething(); } … } else { }
Check this code , I’ve found this is useful. Don’t check Mozilla because most browser use this as user agent string if(strpos($_SERVER[‘HTTP_USER_AGENT’], ‘MSIE’) !== FALSE) echo ‘Internet explorer’; elseif(strpos($_SERVER[‘HTTP_USER_AGENT’], ‘Trident’) !== FALSE) //For Supporting IE 11 echo ‘Internet explorer’; elseif(strpos($_SERVER[‘HTTP_USER_AGENT’], ‘Firefox’) !== FALSE) echo ‘Mozilla Firefox’; elseif(strpos($_SERVER[‘HTTP_USER_AGENT’], ‘Chrome’) !== FALSE) echo ‘Google Chrome’; elseif(strpos($_SERVER[‘HTTP_USER_AGENT’], ‘Opera … Read more
Editor’s note: user agent detection is not a recommended technique for modern web apps. See the comments below this answer for confirmation of this fact. It is suggested to use one of the other answers using feature detection and/or media queries. Instead of using jQuery you can use simple JavaScript to detect it: if( /Android|webOS|iPhone|iPad|iPod|BlackBerry|IEMobile|Opera … Read more
WURLF is the ultimate way for mobile browser detection and a PHP API is available.
