Remove javascript when on ipad

Question

I have a parallax scrolling site that i do not want to work on iPad. So i want to remove the link to my parallax.js file when on iPad.

How would I disable parallax scrolling on detection of device ?

Any direction would be deeply appreciated.

Answer 1

Use something like:

var is_ipad = navigator.userAgent.indexOf('iPad') > -1

Then dont attach the events that activate the parallax

Answer 2

Here's a thread that should allow you to catch other mobile devices: What is the best way to detect a mobile device in jQuery?

Here's a snippet, but don't ignore the many other useful responses:

if( /Android|webOS|iPhone|iPad|iPod|BlackBerry/i.test(navigator.userAgent) ) {
 // some code..
}
