Thanks edeiller … I used your code!

I just added an extra var browser_name='whatever' to each if and returned an array with brower name and version.

I have add the google chrome detection in jquery.browser :
You add juste this in Useragent RegExp list :

// Useragent RegExp
userAgent = navigator.userAgent,
rwebkit = /(webkit)[ /]([w.]+)/,
rchrome = /(chrome)[ /]([w.]+)/,
ropera = /(opera)(?:.*version)?[ /]([w.]+)/,
rmsie = /(msie) ([w.]+)/,
rmozilla = /(mozilla)(?:.*? rv:([w.]+))?/,

You modify uaMatch function :

uaMatch: function( ua ) {
ua = ua.toLowerCase();

var match = rchrome.exec( ua ) || rwebkit.exec( ua ) ||
ropera.exec( ua ) ||
rmsie.exec( ua ) ||
ua.indexOf("compatible") < 0 && rmozilla.exec( ua ) ||
[];
alert(match[2]);
return { browser: match[1] || "", version: match[2] || "0"};
},

browser: {}
});

If you want have the browser language, you modify the return data of uaMatch function like this :
return { browser: match[1] || "", version: match[2] || "0", language: navigator.language? navigator.language : navigator.userLanguage || "" };

and also modify this :
browserMatch = jQuery.uaMatch( userAgent );
if ( browserMatch.browser ) {
jQuery.browser[ browserMatch.browser ] = true;
jQuery.browser.version = browserMatch.version;
jQuery.browser.language = browserMatch.language;
}

That's all.
Thanks

If you want to know if its really a safari and not a chrome put this hack into your code

$.browser.safari = ( $.browser.safari && /chrome/.test(navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase()) ) ? false : true;

Weird, on Chrome (ubuntu, 5.0.375.99 beta). $.browser.safari = true, while $.browser.webkit = undefined

You should use the parseFloat() function, as $.browser.version contains a String instance actually.

if($.browser.msie && parseFloat($.browser.version) < 7){
//do other stuff
return;
}

function detectBrowserVersion(){
var userAgent = navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase();
$.browser.chrome = /chrome/.test(navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase());
var version = 0;

// Is this a version of IE?
if($.browser.msie){
userAgent = $.browser.version;
userAgent = userAgent.substring(0,userAgent.indexOf(‘.’));
version = userAgent;
}

// Is this a version of Chrome?
if($.browser.chrome){
userAgent = userAgent.substring(userAgent.indexOf(‘chrome/’) +7);
userAgent = userAgent.substring(0,userAgent.indexOf(‘.’));
version = userAgent;
// If it is chrome then jQuery thinks it’s safari so we have to tell it it isn’t
$.browser.safari = false;
}

// Is this a version of Safari?
if($.browser.safari){
userAgent = userAgent.substring(userAgent.indexOf(‘safari/’) +7);
userAgent = userAgent.substring(0,userAgent.indexOf(‘.’));
version = userAgent;
}

// Is this a version of Mozilla?
if($.browser.mozilla){
//Is it Firefox?
if(navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase().indexOf(‘firefox’) != -1){
userAgent = userAgent.substring(userAgent.indexOf(‘firefox/’) +8);
userAgent = userAgent.substring(0,userAgent.indexOf(‘.’));
version = userAgent;
}
// If not then it must be another Mozilla
else{
}
}

// Is this a version of Opera?
if($.browser.opera){
userAgent = userAgent.substring(userAgent.indexOf(‘version/’) +8);
userAgent = userAgent.substring(0,userAgent.indexOf(‘.’));
version = userAgent;
}
return version;
}

if you simply want to get the browser name, you can use this:

var browser = jQuery.uaMatch(navigator.userAgent).browser;

if ( $.browser.webkit && !$.browser.opera && !$.browser.msie && !$.browser.mozilla ) {
var userAgent = navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase();
if ( userAgent.indexOf(“chrome”) === -1 ) {
alert(“safari”);
}
}

I needed that because it seems on windows chrome has fixed the

chrome = navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase().indexOf(‘chrome’) > -1;
