how to stop specific jquery functions on mobile devices

[yojames]

Hi all

I’m working on a ‘responsive’ wordpress site at the moment using some jquery here and there.

But I have found that there are a couple of functions which I do not want to run on iphone & ipad as its causing some headaches with layout

does anyone know a simple way to prevent scripts running on iphone/ipad etc?

thanks

I’m sure you should be able to detect if the user is using mobile and then not load things. I don’t know what that code is, but there must be something already written out there!

Thanks I found this which seems to do the trick.

I was sure there would be simple solution somewhere

I had exactly the same problem today, i ended up using this in my jquery sheet, not sure how reliable it is but it may help…

if (screen.width <= 540) {

*code here }

if (screen.width >= 541) {

*code here }

thanks I’ll give that it go
