jquery - find the firmware in javascript

Question

I am looking for a way to find the os version and model version of the computer my site is being viewed on. jQuery, javascript, html, php, asp... Any language browsers generally support will do. I know it's possible, comex did it for iOS. I think he did:

firmware.indexof("4.0");

But I need the model too, as I said before. That is a veeeeeerrrrrryyyyyy long script that won't work for me anyway. I googled it, but no luck. Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

If you expect that your clients will have Flash installed (95%+ of the world does), you can use a Flash movie to check the flash.system.Capabilities object. It has lots of information you might be interested in. If you're trying to find it on an iOS machine, then obviously this won't work since it's not going to have Flash on it.
