Browser Detection

What's the best / simplest / most accurate way to detect the browser of a user? Ease of extendability and implementation is a plus. The less technologies used, the better. The solution can be server side, client side, or both. The results should eventually end up at the server, though. The solution can be framework agnostic. The solution will only be used for reporting purposes. On the server you're pretty much limited to the UserAgent string the browser provides (which is fraught with problems, have a read about the UserAgent string's history ). On the client (ie in Javascript), you have more

What is better: CSS hacks or browser detection?

问题 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

Easiest/Lightest Replacement For Browser Detection jQuery 1.9?

半城伤御伤魂 提交于 2019-11-27 18:39:49
I had several clients complain yesterday that some code stopped working. Apparently it comes down to plug-ins using the now deprecated jQuery.browser which stopped working yesterday when jQuery 1.9 was released. I (quickly) looked at the 1.9 change docs and it seems like they want me to substitute some pretty heavy libraries just for that one function. Is there a recommended lightest weight plug-in or code snippet to restore that functionality? For what these sites need, it's very basic; I only need the most basic detection of IE vs FF vs everyone else. Suggestions? I've use the following code

This question already has an answer here: How to Identify Microsoft Edge browser via CSS? 4 answers I would like to target Edge and have flexbox behave simliar to Firefox 33 / Chrome, for more detail see this question . Can one target Edge in CSS? Raptor To target Edge, 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 support

How to find out about the User Agent in GWT

依然范特西╮ 提交于 2019-11-27 15:57:54
问题 I am trying to write browser specific code. Is there a GWT API to find out which browser the client is using? 回答1: 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

Detecting IE using jQuery

夙愿已清 提交于 2019-11-27 13:58:40
$(window).load(function () { if($.browser.msie && $.browser.version=="6.0") { // do stuff } }); Just realized that $.browser has been depreciated in 1.3. What is the new method for detecting IE, specially IE6. 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 like

问题 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.

Browser & version in prototype library?

问题 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. 回答1: 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

How do you detect between a Desktop and Mobile Chrome User Agent?

别来无恙 提交于 2019-11-27 09:13:06
For a Chrome Desktop Extension home page, I'm trying to detect whether a user is using Chrome for Desktop or Chrome for Mobile on Android. Currently the script below identifies Android Chrome the same as Desktop chrome. On desktop Chrome it should show "chrome" link; however, if someone is on Chrome for Android, it should show the "mobile-other" link. Script: <script>$(document).ready(function(){ var ua = navigator.userAgent; if (/Chrome/i.test(ua)) $('a.chrome').show(); else if (/Android|webOS|iPhone|iPad|iPod|BlackBerry|IEMobile|Opera Mini|Mobile|mobile/i.test(ua)) $('a.mobile-other').show()

Hello I want to detect the Browser , IE 8 or more will be appropriate for me. For this i used following code but it fails for IE 11 . For other its detecting properly. function getInternetExplorerVersion() { var rv = -1; // Return value assumes failure. if (navigator.appName == 'Microsoft Internet Explorer') { var ua = navigator.userAgent; var re = new RegExp("MSIE ([0-9]{1,}[\.0-9]{0,})"); if (re.exec(ua) != null) rv = parseFloat(RegExp.$1); } return rv; } Below is the link which also I tried but couldn't succeed. DO NOT DO BROWSER DETECTION! It will break, and it will cause you problems.
