browser detects iphone app on webpage

[wigby]

does anyone know how to include code on my app's website so that when someone visits my webpage, they get a pop-up telling them that there is an iphone app on this webpage and they can go right to itunes to download it? or can you point me to a webpage that does this so i can look at their html?

or is that something already built into safari so long as you have an itunes link somewhere in your html?

i've visited a few pages that do this but i cannot find any now.

Hello, I just registered here, and saw your post, so let me reply!

You can use a code (put it in your .js file) like this:

if ((navigator.userAgent.match(/iPhone/i)) || (navigator.userAgent.match(/iPod/i))) { do some functions here, like make a cookie and put a message }

just replace iPhone / iPod what you want

Edit sorry, if you want to follow this with a message when they click OK to go to store:


if (confirm("Some message"))
window.location = "the app URL to go to, like itunes store...";
