You can use this function inside document ready function. Add the code inside function for your event.

function checkOperatingSystem()
{
    var  userAgent = navigator.userAgent || navigator.vendor || window.opera;

    //Check mobile device is Android
    if (/android/i.test(userAgent)) {
        //Add your Code here
    }

    //Check mobile device is IOS
    if (/iPad|iPhone|iPod/.test(userAgent) && !window.MSStream) {
        //Add your Code here
    }

    //Check device os is Windows (For Laptop and PC)
    if (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("Win")!=-1)
    {
        //Add your Code here
    }

    //Check device os is MAC (For Laptop and PC)
    if (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("Mac")!=-1)
    {
        //Add your Code here
    }  
}
