I want to load a carousel named "slick" only on mobile device. But the error comes [SyntaxError: unterminated string literal] in the line (document.write(""); Please help me out in solving the issue to load js only on mobile device or suggest another idea to achieve this.

Below is the bootstrap HTML code.

  • @BilltheLizard — I was a bit dubious about the other two questions being true duplicates of each other, so I went with the one that seemed a closer fit. I've opened [a discussion on meta](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/302152/if-another-question-is-the-answer-is-it-a-duplicate). – Quentin Aug 10 '15 at 12:52

Here is a little function you can use to return true or false depending on whether the user is on a mobile device:

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;
}

From there you can simply execute some code like so:

if (is_mobile()) {

    //Mobile device detected. Do some stuff...
}

  • This doesn't address the problem described in the question. You've rewritten the mobile detection code without fixing the broken script loading code. – Quentin Aug 10 '15 at 11:29

You can check navigator.userAgent and see if it is a mobile devide.

Here is an example

HTML

  </a>
</div>

Take note of the id of the carousel myCarousel. It is initially hidden

display:none;

Now make a extensive function to check what kind of device that is browsing the page

Javascript

function isMobile() {
    // set the bool to be false initially
    var isMobile = false; 
    // Check if it is a mobile by testing the userAgent. If it is recognized set the isMobile bool to true
    if(/(android|bb\d+|meego).+mobile|avantgo|bada\/|blackberry|blazer|compal|elaine|fennec|hiptop|iemobile|ip(hone|od)|ipad|iris|kindle|Android|Silk|lge |maemo|midp|mmp|netfront|opera m(ob|in)i|palm( os)?|phone|p(ixi|re)\/|plucker|pocket|psp|series(4|6)0|symbian|treo|up\.(browser|link)|vodafone|wap|windows (ce|phone)|xda|xiino/i.test(navigator.userAgent)

    return isMobile
}

Now all you have to do is to check if the device is mobile, and if it is, show the carousel:

Javascript (jQuery)

$(function () {
    if (isMobile()) {
        $('#myCarousel').show();
    };
});

And here is a fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/zLj5wuv5/1/

Edit:

To anser your question more directly, how to add javaScripts dynamically:

Javascript (jQuery)

$(function () {
    if (isMobile()) {
        $.getScript("slick/slick.min.js", function(){
            alert("Running slick.min.js");
        });
    };
});

function isMobile() {
    // set the bool to be false initially
    var isMobile = false; 
    // Check if it is a mobile by testing the userAgent. If it is recognized set the isMobile bool to true
    if(/(android|bb\d+|meego).+mobile|avantgo|bada\/|blackberry|blazer|compal|elaine|fennec|hiptop|iemobile|ip(hone|od)|ipad|iris|kindle|Android|Silk|lge |maemo|midp|mmp|netfront|opera m(ob|in)i|palm( os)?|phone|p(ixi|re)\/|plucker|pocket|psp|series(4|6)0|symbian|treo|up\.(browser|link)|vodafone|wap|windows (ce|phone)|xda|xiino/i.test(navigator.userAgent)
