        I'm assuming the url at the end that says 'http://detectmobilebrowser.com/mobile'); should be the url of the mobile site? Correct?

        I tried it but can't get it to work.

    What is it you are actually trying to accomplish? IMHO, you shouldn't need this code, except in some very rare instances.

      Normally main websites looks ok on ipad and don't need to be redirected to a mobile version of site, but in this case main site was flash so it wouldn't show ipad so needed to redirect to moble site for ipad users.

        Look into "responsive design" css adjusts page for how big the screen is.

        Way easier to maintain, no need for separate version of every page.

        Like I said, you shouldn't need this code.

    use this to detect for IOS
    Code:
    navigator.userAgent.match(/iPhone|iPad|iPod/i)

    As jminkler said a responsive design would be good here. If you want to keep the main page as is and redirect the ipad users to the mobile page, to have the page resize for them would improve usability a lot. It's easy aswell, you just write css code to say you want different styles for different screen sizes etc.

    Example:
    Code:
    @media (min-width: 700px) {
       Styles for bigger screens.
}

    This detection should be done server-side. Look into WURFL.
