Detect different browsers with Javascript
If you are working with JavaScript you were probably in situation that your script is working with some browsers and not working with others. It would help to know which browser is user using. Here is table with some object detection code which can help you to determine that:
| Scheme | Description |
|---|---|
| document.getElementById | Detects IE5+, Firefox1+, and Opera7+ (modern browsers in general) |
| window.getComputedStyle | Detects Firefox1+ and Opera 8+ |
| Array.every | Detects Firefox1.5+ (method detection) |
| window.Iterator | Detects Firefox2+ |
| document.all | Detects IE4+ |
| window.attachEvent | Detects IE5+ |
| window.createPopup | Detects IE5.5+ |
| document.compatMode && document.all | Detects IE6+ |
| window.XMLHttpRequest | Detects IE7, Firefox1+, and Opera8+ |
| document.documentElement && typeof document.documentElement.style.maxHeight!=”undefined” | Detects IE7 |
| window.opera | Detects Opera (any version). |
You can use this lines of code to detect specific browser:
<script type=”text/javascript”>
if (document.getElementById) alert(“Modern browser detected”)
if (window.getComputedStyle) alert(“Firefox1+ or Opera 8+ detected”)
if (Array.every) alert(“Firefox1.5+ detected”)
if (window.Iterator) alert(“Firefox2+ detected”)
if (document.all) alert(“IE4+ detected”)
if (window.attachEvent) alert(“IE5+ detected”)
if (window.createPopup) alert(“IE5.5+ detected”)
if (document.compatMode && document.all) alert(“IE7, Firefox1+, and Opera8+ detected”)
if (window.XMLHttpRequest) alert(“IE6 detected”)
if (document.documentElement && typeof document.documentElement.style.maxHeight!=”undefined”) alert(“IE7 detected”)
if (window.attachEvent) alert(“Opera (any version) detected”)
</script>
