OT: html coding question - Thanks

[Michael Torres]

Yep, pretty easy if you use php....

require_once 'Mobile_Detect.php';
$detect = new Mobile_Detect;

... you code here ...

// Any mobile device (phones or tablets).
if ( $detect->isMobile() ) {
    // Do Something
}

// Any tablet device.
if( $detect->isTablet() ){
    // Do Something
}

// Exclude tablets.
if( $detect->isMobile() && !$detect->isTablet() ){
    // Do Something
}

// Check for a specific platform with the help of the magic methods:
if( $detect->isiOS() ){
   // Do Something
}

if( $detect->isAndroidOS() ){
   // Do Something
}


... you code here ...
