browser-detection

I need to separate IE and FF browsers from others it's a pseudo-code : If (CurrentBrowser == IE(6+) or FF(2+) ) { ... } else { ... } in protected void Page_Load() event (think so) if ((Request.Browser.Type == "IE") || (Request.Browser.Type == "FF")) { WebMsgBox.Show("1111"); } no effects :-/ what is IE and FF types? Asad Butt 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 { } Tony The Lion Here's a way you can

I'm developping a JS-app that needs to work both on the client side and the server side (in Javascript on a browser and in Node.js), and I would like to be able to reuse the parts of the code that are used for both sides. I have found out that window was a variable only accessible on Browsers, and global in node, so I can detect in which environment the code is executing (assuming that no script declares the window variable) They are two problems. How should I detect in which browser the code is running. For example, is this code OK. (This code is inline, meaning that it is surrounded by some

Just stumbled upon an issue. When trying to detect IE 11 (the beta version currently on air) using Jquery, the result is 'firefox'. The same code detect IE 10. I need to know what browser the user is using in order to display different instructions. I am testing in Oracle VirtualBox if it matters. The OS is Win 7. Here's the code: <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.1.min.js"></script> <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-migrate-1.2.1.min.js"></script> <script> var browser = function() { if ($.browser.msie) return "ie"; var ua = navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase(); if ($

I'm in need of a way to detect mobile browsers server-side. I'd like a way that requires me to do little to set up and little to maintain, yet still provide me with accurate detection of (at the VERY least) Android, Mobile Safari and Blackberry browsers, along with alternatives like Opera. I'd like to have at least the majority of the mobile market covered , and I'd really prefer virtually all of the market if it doesn't take much. WURLF is the ultimate way for mobile browser detection and a PHP API is available. I found this one to be very easy to use php-mobile-detect (edit: for now the

Hey Everyone, I was wondering what methods are standard within the industry to do browser detection in Rails? Is there a gem, library or sample code somewhere that can help determine the browser and apply a class or id to the body element of the (X)HTML? Thanks, I'm just wondering what everyone uses and whether there is accepted method of doing this? I know that we can get the user.agent and parse that string, but I'm not sure if that is that is an acceptable way to do browser detection. Also, I'm not trying to debate feature detection here, I've read multiple answers for that on StackOverflow

Is there a way to detect mobile devices using Javascript? Also, I researched that there are such an XML which contains user-agents that could help to identify the mobile handsets. 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 zillion UA strings. Try something like this: For the UA to report the screen's physical pixel size, this tag must be present in the

I'm writing a bit of javascript and need to choose between SVG or VML (or both, or something else, it's a weird world). Whilst I know that for now that only IE supports VML, I'd much rather detect functionality than platform. SVG appears to have a few properties which you can go for: window.SVGAngle for example. Is this the best way to check for SVG support? Is there any equivalent for VML? Unfortuntaly - in firefox I can quite happily do all the rendering in VML without error - just nothing happens on screen. It's quite hard to detect that situation from script. For VML detection, here's what
