#detect.js ###provides the browser & os as a readable string.

This script uses the navigator.userAgent string to detect the browser. Since this string is easily altered by a user, detect.js should be used to alter the behavior of your javascript code. Instead, it should be used for displaying the likely browser information to the user.

Add detect.js to your page:

<script src="detect.js"></script>

Retrieve the browser, version, & os:

console.log( window.ui.browser );
console.log( window.ui.version );
console.log( window.ui.os );

detect.js adds a 'ui' (short for user information) object to the window.

window.ui = {
    browser : 'Firefox',
    version : '6.0.2',
    os : 'Mac OS X 10.7'
}
