Detecting a mobile browser
As a long time programmer (aka “old fart”), I’m often quick to jump to writing code. But I learned a long time ago to devote most of my time to writing code that’s going to be the most beneficial to the process. That means the common stuff, or the stuff that someone else has already written WELL, should be left to others. One such case is on detecting mobile browsers. There are lots and lots of browser strings for all the different mobile browser devices out there, and it can change across versions of the device or the even versions of the software loaded on the device… Since someone else has written this, and they’ve done it well, let them… Check out the site here: http://detectmobilebrowsers.mobi/ It’s simple to implement, and clean on how it works.
