iPad version detection in JavaScript

Question

Is it possible to check for the iPad version (1 or 2) in a web application? As the user agent looks identical (see http://www.webtrends.com/Support/KnowledgeBase/SolutionDet

Answer 1

How about:

// For use within normal web clients 
var isiPad = navigator.userAgent.match(/iPad/i) != null;

// For use within iPad developer UIWebView
// Thanks to Andrew Hedges!
var ua = navigator.userAgent;
var isiPad = /iPad/i.test(ua) || /iPhone OS 3_1_2/i.test(ua) || /iPhone OS 3_2_2/i.test(ua);
