How to detect my browser version and operating system using JavaScript?

Question

I have tried using the code below but it only display results in Chrome and Mozilla not working in IE6.

Answer 1

There is a library for this purpose: https://github.com/bestiejs/platform.js#readme

Then you can use it this way

// example 1
platform.os; // 'Windows Server 2008 R2 / 7 x64'

// example 2 on an iPad
platform.os; // 'iOS 5.0'

// you can also access on the browser and some other properties
platform.name; // 'Safari'
platform.version; // '5.1'
platform.product; // 'iPad'
platform.manufacturer; // 'Apple'
platform.layout; // 'WebKit'

// or use the description to put all together
platform.description; // 'Safari 5.1 on Apple iPad (iOS 5.0)'
