看看这篇文章，它提供了一个非常好的代码片段，说明当检测到触摸设备时该怎么做，或者如果调用了touchstart事件，该怎么做：

$(function(){
  if(window.Touch) {
    touch_detect.auto_detected();
  } else {
    document.ontouchstart = touch_detect.surface;
  }
}); // End loaded jQuery
var touch_detect = {
  auto_detected: function(event){
    /* add everything you want to do onLoad here (eg. activating hover controls) */
    alert('this was auto detected');
    activateTouchArea();
  },
  surface: function(event){
    /* add everything you want to do ontouchstart here (eg. drag & drop) - you can fire this in both places */
    alert('this was detected by touching');
    activateTouchArea();
  }
}; // touch_detect
function activateTouchArea(){
  /* make sure our screen doesn't scroll when we move the "touchable area" */
  var element = document.getElementById('element_id');
  element.addEventListener("touchstart", touchStart, false);
}
function touchStart(event) {
  /* modularize preventing the default behavior so we can use it again */
  event.preventDefault();
}

使用了前面提到的sequeelo解决方案，并添加了宽度/高度检查功能（以避免屏幕旋转错误）。为了选择移动视口的最小/最大边界，我使用了这个资源https://www.mydevice.io/#compare-设备

function isMobile() {
    try{ document.createEvent("TouchEvent"); return true; }
    catch(e){ return false; }
}

function deviceType() {
    var width = Math.max(document.documentElement.clientWidth, window.innerWidth || 0);
    var height = Math.max(document.documentElement.clientHeight, window.innerHeight || 0),screenType;
    if (isMobile()){
        if ((width <= 650 && height <= 900) || (width <= 900 && height <= 650))
            screenType = "Mobile Phone";
        else
            screenType = "Tablet";
    }
    else
        screenType = "Desktop";
  return screenType;
}

在以下位置找到解决方案：http://www.abeautifulsite.net/blog/2011/11/detecting-mobile-devices-with-javascript/.

var isMobile = {
    Android: function() {
        return navigator.userAgent.match(/Android/i);
    },
    BlackBerry: function() {
        return navigator.userAgent.match(/BlackBerry/i);
    },
    iOS: function() {
        return navigator.userAgent.match(/iPhone|iPad|iPod/i);
    },
    Opera: function() {
        return navigator.userAgent.match(/Opera Mini/i);
    },
    Windows: function() {
        return navigator.userAgent.match(/IEMobile/i);
    },
    any: function() {
        return (isMobile.Android() || isMobile.BlackBerry() || isMobile.iOS() || isMobile.Opera() || isMobile.Windows());
    }
};

然后，要验证它是否是移动设备，您可以使用以下方法进行测试：

if(isMobile.any()) {
   //some code...
}

你也可以像下面这样检测它

$.isIPhone = function(){
    return ((navigator.platform.indexOf("iPhone") != -1) || (navigator.platform.indexOf("iPod") != -1));

};
$.isIPad = function (){
    return (navigator.platform.indexOf("iPad") != -1);
};
$.isAndroidMobile  = function(){
    var ua = navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase();
    return ua.indexOf("android") > -1 && ua.indexOf("mobile");
};
$.isAndroidTablet  = function(){
    var ua = navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase();
    return ua.indexOf("android") > -1 && !(ua.indexOf("mobile"));
};

这里有一个函数，您可以使用它来获得关于您是否在移动浏览器上运行的正确/错误答案。是的，这是浏览器嗅探，但有时这正是您需要的。

function is_mobile() {
    var agents = ['android', 'webos', 'iphone', 'ipad', 'blackberry'];
    for(i in agents) {
        if(navigator.userAgent.match('/'+agents[i]+'/i')) {
            return true;
        }
    }
    return false;
}

您还可以使用服务器端脚本并从中设置javascript变量。

php中的示例

下载http://code.google.com/p/php-mobile-detect/然后设置javascript变量。

<script>
//set defaults
var device_type = 'desktop';
</script>

<?php
require_once( 'Mobile_Detect.php');
$detect = new Mobile_Detect();
?>

<script>
device_type="<?php echo ($detect->isMobile() ? ($detect->isTablet() ? 'tablet' : 'mobile') : 'desktop'); ?>";
alert( device_type);
</script>
