Usage

Scripts

BrowserType.js registers a plain object in window, containing recognition expressions. It's structure is as following:

BrowserType = {
  isOpera,
  isFirefox,
  isSafari,
  isIE,
  isEdge,
  isChrome,
  isBlink
}

You can use these values directly in conditions:

if(BrowserType.isIE) {
  alert('You got the worst browser around, congratulations.');
} else if(BrowserType.isChrome) {
  alert('You got an evergreen browser, nice!');
}

Stylesheets

BrowserType.js also sets a class on the html element, making it really easy to also differ between browsers in stylesheets.

• bt-opera
• bt-firefox
• bt-safari
• bt-explorer
• bt-edge
• bt-chrome
• bt-other
