In javascript 'If mobile phone'

Question

I was thinking of doing something with the jQuery.browser but this only returns which browser you're in and if its a webkit etc etc.

So i basically want to turn off certain js files from even loading if you're on a mobile device?

I assume you can do it but how?

Answer 1

I think this answer is better because it doesn't depends on screen width:

if( /Android|webOS|iPhone|iPad|iPod|BlackBerry/i.test(navigator.userAgent) ) {
    // some code..
}

I know that now you've got a brand browser dependency, but this is a bit more maintainable that checking for the screen size.
