Just Make a copy of the page (add the number 1 to the name) that is redirecting them to the iPhone/iPad Version, but just remove the redirection script.

So the Link that takes them back to the ‘normal’ viewing mode is to the page WITHOUT the redirection script, enabling them to view your site ‘normally’

Try that!

Thanks

Thanks, if you can email me with a reply that would be great!

Thank you very much for bringing me up to the 21st century on this one.

I would find the userAgent of the tablet you are trying to redirect for, and j insert some of the part of the useragent text into the part that says “ipad” instead. Hope that helps.

I spent more than 8 hours today trying to find a way to trap for iPads so that I could use a separate youtube video embed code…without the autoplay in it (I discovered that if autoplay is set to ’1′ when the ipad goes to play it, it will not play and no play button will appear).

Your code allowed me to trap for the ipad and redirect those users to a similar page on my own site, that has the very same youtube code embed, sans the autoplay.

Again, job well done…and thank you!!

Can you tell me what the code be for users of tablets other than ipads?

Thanks.

I found a few other options but none were as simple as this. I now have it working for iPad/iPhone/iPod/BlackBerry but not sure if there are other mobile devices that can be added to ensure all bases are covered. I see Scott says this should work for all android devices but haven’t been able to test aside from those above, has anyone else?

Thanks a lot for sharing!

Any suggestions for screen-reader devices? I’m planning on building a secondary (text-only) site for accessibility purposes, and would love a general redirect for those without flash / images.

Thanks again!

Thanks

Anyway, thanks so much for creating and distributing this script!

Thanks
Scott

Thanks by the way. This works perfectly on ipod, ipad and iphone for me.

Here is the code for just ipods and iphones.

<script type="text/javascript">
	if ((navigator.userAgent.indexOf('iPhone') != -1) || (navigator.userAgent.indexOf('iPod') != -1)) {
		document.location = "http://www.scottrockers.com/iphone.html";
	}
</script>

And here is just for the ipad.

Scenerio: I have a website for web(PC) and a redirect for mobile: Iphones, blackberries etc. I found my redirect for iphone and ipod touch was also redirecting for the ipad. I did NOT want IPAD users to be redirected so I used the above script to detect ipad users and NOT redirect to the mobile site. It works well.

The script above is indeed good!.

I went on a search to check to make sure this script was working and found out some things. The userAgent of the iPad is: “Mozilla/5.0(iPad; U; CPU iPhone OS 3_2 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/531.21.10 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0.4 Mobile/7B314 Safari/531.21.10″

So the code should be working because it contains the words iPad in it. If anyone can actually test this out on the actual iPad, and not in the Apple Store, then please let me know and I will post a correction. Brian, I did update the code just to make sure, so please try it again.

Thanks,
Scott

This code does not work on the iPad. I just tested redirect with my website http://www.briankellogg.com in the Apple store and it does not work. The code still works for the iPhone. If someone does figure out a better code please post it here.

iPad not iPod as it were.
