    }

else if (navigator.vendor != null && navigator.vendor.match(/Apple Computer, Inc./) && navigator.userAgent.match(/iPad/i))

        alert("Ipad");

    }

else if (navigator.vendor != null && navigator.vendor.match(/Apple Computer, Inc./) && navigator.userAgent.indexOf('Safari') != -1)

    {

        alert("Safari");

    }

else if (navigator.vendor == null || navigator.vendor != null)

    {

        alert("Not Apple Based Browser");

    }
