Is there a way to detect if the operating system is OS X Lion or not in Javascript?
Cheers!

Some people are still using OS X 10.7 Lion and OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, and until recently, you had to pay Apple $19.99 to get download codes for those OSes. But there's good news: Apple is now offering Lion and Mountain Lion for free for anyone who wants them.
What is OS X Lion? OS X Lion (version 10.7) is an operating system designed by Apple and released in 2011. It is generally used with Apple Macintosh computers (Macs).
Mac OS X Lion (version 10.7; marketed as OS X Lion) is the eighth major release of Mac OS X, Apple's desktop and server operating system for Macintosh computers.
The user agent of Safari (and also Firefox) in Lion is something like
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_7_1) AppleWebKit/534.48.3 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.1 Safari/534.48.3
There is "Mac OS X 10_7_1" in it - this indicates Lion (= Mac OS 10.7).

You can read the user agent string using "navigator.userAgent"
