Identifying Ipod or Ipad
Is there a script available that I can put on a website to identify if it is being viewed on either Ipod or Ipad and if so immediately move to different page ?
Any help would be appreciated - I know you can identify Mac or PC but that idea didn't seem to work and Ipods/Ipads don't like Flash very much.
Thanks for your help

You are better off using just one page and serving your content in a way that any browser can render it. If you have Flash for instance, it's not the Flash you want the user to see, rather a video or a movie, perhaps you just want them to hear a sound. There are scripts for that. They will serve - say video, using the HTML 5 video tag to browsers like iPhone, while using Flash to show it to browsers like IE 7.
One such script is jPlayer:
http://www.jplayer.org/
But if you must detect iPhone/Pad/Pod, the browsers used by those devices all have userAgent strings that can be detected:
Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
if (/iphone|ipod|ipad/i.test(navigator.userAgent)) {
location.replace('someother.htm');
}
</script>
That code in the head of the page should take the iDevice user to a separate page, in this case - someother.htm
