    you can use this minified jQuery snippet to detect if your user is viewing using a mobile device. If you need to test for a specific device I’ve included a collection of JavaScript snippets below which can be used to detect various mobile handheld devices such as iPad, iPhone, iPod, iDevice, Andriod, Blackberry, WebOs and Windows Phone.

    /**
     * jQuery.browser.mobile (http://detectmobilebrowser.com/)
     * jQuery.browser.mobile will be true if the browser is a mobile device
     **/

    **Example Usage:**

    if(jQuery.browser.mobile)
    {
    console.log(‘You are using a mobile device!’);
    }
    else
    {
    console.log(‘You are not using a mobile device!’);
    }

    If you don’t need to separate the handling of the device I prefer using this one line:

    function isMobile() { return (‘ontouchstart’ in document.documentElement);}

    Note:
    jQuery.browser is deprecated since v1.3 and removed in v1.9

    Hi,

    You can use this one also.

    if( /Android|webOS|iPhone|iPad|iPod|BlackBerry/i.test(navigator.userAgent) ) {
    // some code..
    }

    @rahuldsg
    thanks so much. I used

    if( /Android|webOS|iPhone|iPad|iPod|BlackBerry/i.test(navigator.userAgent) ) {
    // some code..
    }

    And it works great!!!
