The new fixed positioning introduced in iOS5 corrupted my webapp and I need a way to detect iOS5 users.

How can I detect iOS5? What is the browser agent string? JavaScript preferred. Thanks!

    From the SO question: What is the iOS 5 user-agent string:

    iPhone:

    Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 5_0 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/534.46 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.1 Mobile/9A334 Safari/7534.48.3

    iPad:

    Mozilla/5.0 (iPad; CPU OS 5_0 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/534.46 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.1 Mobile/9A334 Safari/7534.48.3

    And here is way to test for ios 5.x in javascript:

    <script type="text/javascript">
    if (navigator.userAgent.match(/OS 5(_\d)+ like Mac OS X/i))
        // this helps detect minor versions such as 5_0_1
        document.write("You have iOS 5! Aren't you special!");
</script>
