[](https://nodei.co/npm/jquery.browser/)
[](https://travis-ci.org/gabceb/jquery-browser-plugin)
A jQuery plugin for browser detection. jQuery v1.9.1 dropped support for browser detection, and this project aims to keep the detection up-to-date.
## Installation
Include script *after* the jQuery library:
```html
<script src="/path/to/jquery.browser.js"></script>
```
Alternatively, you can use the plugin without jQuery by using the global object `jQBrowser` instead of `$.browser`.
## Usage
Returns true if the current useragent is some version of Microsoft's Internet Explorer. Supports all IE versions including IE 11.
$.browser.msie;
Returns true if the current useragent is some version of a WebKit browser (Safari, Chrome and Opera 15+)
$.browser.webkit;
Returns true if the current useragent is some version of Firefox
$.browser.mozilla;
Reading the browser version
$.browser.version
You can also examine arbitrary useragents
jQBrowser.uaMatch();
## Things not included in the original jQuery $.browser implementation
- Detect specifically Windows, Mac, Linux, iPad, iPhone, iPod, Android, Kindle, BlackBerry, Chrome OS, and Windows Phone useragents
```javascript
$.browser.android
$.browser.blackberry
$.browser.cros
$.browser.ipad
$.browser.iphone
$.browser.ipod
$.browser.kindle
$.browser.linux
$.browser.mac
$.browser.msedge
$.browser.playbook
$.browser.silk
$.browser.win
$.browser["windows phone"]
```
Alternatively, you can detect for generic classifications such as desktop or mobile
```javascript
$.browser.desktop
$.browser.mobile
```
```javascript
// User Agent for Firefox on Windows
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:25.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/25.0
$.browser.desktop // Returns true as a boolean
```
```javascript
// User Agent for Safari on iPhone
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0(iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 7_0_3 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/537.51.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/7.0 Mobile/11B508 Safari/9537.53
$.browser.mobile // Returns true as a boolean
```
- Detect the browser's major version
```javascript
// User Agent for Chrome
// Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_9_0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/32.0.1664.3 Safari/537.36
$.browser.versionNumber // Returns 32 as a number
```
- Support for new useragent on IE 11
- Support for Microsoft Edge
- Support for WebKit based Opera browsers
- Added testing using PhantomJS and different browser user agents
## Testing
Testing for this plugin is done with [Casperjs v1.1](http://casperjs.org/) to take advantage of multiple phantomjs browsers with different user agents.
For instructions on how to install [Casperjs v1.1](http://casperjs.org/) go to http://docs.casperjs.org/en/latest/installation.html
**Note: Testing requires Casperjs v1.1**
Install the grunt-cli dependency by running `npm install -g grunt-cli`
Run `npm install` to install all dependencies including grunt and all tasks
Once Casperjs and the grunt-cli npm package is installed you can execute all the tests by using:
npm test
