Detecting OS type (Windows, Mac OS X and Linux)

[Ziyuan Yao]

How does an extension find out which type of OS it is running on
(Windows/MacOSX/Linux)?

You can probably just check the user agent string.

I see, navigator.userAgent.

navigator.userAgent

This is not a general browser/JavaScript forum. If you do not know the basics, learn them elsewhere first.

PhistucK i get your point, but I really don't like such attitude - it don't serve well for our community. 

Ziyuan i recommend you to check all new HTML5 apis, also very educational behavior is to make console.dir(window), console.dir(document) (and others) to check what interesting lay behind those objects. I've found tons of nice stuff and learn more than reading 100 tutorials.
