browser-detection

I am trying to write browser specific code. Is there a GWT API to find out which browser the client is using? The GWT Developer's Guide page on Cross-Browser Support gives a JSNI function that returns the UserAgent string. Note, however, that you probably want to use Deferred Binding to write browser-specific code, instead of detecting the UserAgent. Edit: Kasturi points out Window.Navigator.getUserAgent() , which is implemented like so: /** * Gets the navigator.appName. * * @return the window's navigator.appName. */ public static native String getAppName() /*-{ return $wnd.navigator.appName;

Can't get Parallax working properly in IE or Microsoft Edge. I've looked in forums and haven't found a solution to the problem. I've come up with hopefully a solution for now. I want to make a message appear if the user is using IE or Edge. Not sure how I can detect that the browser being used is one or the either. Here is some javascript code I'm trying to work with: <script src="https://github.com/ded/bowser/blob/master/src/bowser.js"></script> // Determine Browser Used browser = require('bowser').browser; becomes browser = require('bowser'); if (bowser.msie || bowser.msedge) { alert('Hello

I am used to using Atlas. Recently i have started transitioning to jQuery and sometimes prototype. The project that i'm currently working on is using prototype. In Prototype, is there an easy way to get the browser name and version? I've looked over the API documentation and can't seem to find it. As a completion to nertzy's answer you can add the ability for detecting IE versions using this: Prototype.Browser.IE6 = Prototype.Browser.IE && parseInt(navigator.userAgent.substring(navigator.userAgent.indexOf("MSIE")+5)) == 6; Prototype.Browser.IE7 = Prototype.Browser.IE && parseInt(navigator

Commonly when I look around the Internet, I find that people are generally using CSS hacks to make their website look the same in all browsers. Personally, I have found this to be quite time consuming to find all of these hacks and test them; each change you make you have to test in 4+ browsers to make sure it didn't break anything else. About a year ago, I looked around the Internet for what other major sites are using (Yahoo, Google, BBC, etc) and found that most of them are doing some form of browser detection (JS, HTML if statements, server based). I have started doing this as well. On

I need a quick and dirty way to detect media query support using jquery. I defined a function as follows: function mediaQueriesEnabled () { var v = parseFloat($.browser.version); if ($.browser.msie) { if (v < 9) return (false); } return (true); } Can someone help me fix this up a bit? Looking at this page: http://caniuse.com/css-mediaqueries I realized that there are some complexities here. For example, when I test my version of safari, I get "534.57.2". I want to avoid installing modernizr for now, mainly because I'm in a crunch and I need to handle most situations in the short term. Any help
