This is a pretty lightweight way of detecting when your javascript is living in a mobile device. if(typeof window.orientation != 'undefined') { /* put mobile spesific code here */ } To omit spesific devices from running this code you can also add individual checks like the following. if(typeof window.orientation != 'undefined' && !navigator.userAgent.match(/iPad/i)) { /* put mobile spesific(but not ipad) code here */ } This is a mix of the answers found on stack overflow.
