So I am using twitter bootstrap for one of my latest projects… My client uses a Mac computer and when I showed him the demo, he said it would be cool if the buttons could flow with the operating system.

I was curious if anyone knew how to detect an operating system using JavaScript and move the buttons on the in the model to the left instead of the right. Also I would like to be able to move the close button to the left as well.

I remember seeing a theme that does this, but for the life of me can not find it.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

    I don’t know of any plugins that would do exactly what you want, but you can detect the OS using navigator.appversion

    var OSName="Unknown OS";
if (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("Win")!=-1) OSName="Windows";
if (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("Mac")!=-1) OSName="MacOS";
if (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("X11")!=-1) OSName="UNIX";
if (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("Linux")!=-1) OSName="Linux";

    You could then branch your code (maybe even using just CSS) based on the OS.
