As a followup to my last post regarding browser detection, I have decided to release a new standalone and lightweight library that will hopefully put browser sniffing to rest once and for all. In a project I’ve entitled Env (short for environment), you now have the power of knowing exactly what your browser environment is and is not capable of without actually knowing what browser it is. Many of the features and bugs that are often encountered during runtime no longer need to be sniffed out by the user agent, despite the fact that some of the mainstream libraries still insist upon it. In addition to bug and feature testing, the library also supports advanced type detection and event support detection to further enhance your usability, but also separate your dependence on browser sniffing. Goodbye navigator.userAgent and good riddens – you’ve broken my app for the last time! read more »
