Support jQuery.os

Description

jQuery has a really handy for browser detection. In some cases it's also handy to detect OS. For example downloads, media players (WMP for Mac sucks), and even fonts (sometimes an extra pixel makes a difference for Mac OS X due to it's anti-aliasing).

I therefore propose adding jQuery.os

I've got a patch to get this started.

The biggest question is what OS's to detect. This should catch the big ones.

  • Cc raccettura.flesler added
  • need changed from Review to Test Case

While possible, it's not something required on the core. I recall seeing 1 or more plugins that extend or even rewrite the browser object.

You can always add that as a plugin. If you think it can help somewhere in the core and you can show us where and how, we can surely add that, then.

  • Status changed from new to closed
  • Resolution set to wontfix

jQuery doesn't need this internally, and it would likely be as hard to get right as jQuery.browser. It could be done as a plugin and contributed to the plugin repository.

Please follow the  bug reporting guidlines and use  jsFiddle when providing test cases and demonstrations instead of pasting the code in the ticket.
