So recently I published a post that contained a quick and simple browser detection snippet for jQuery. In that snippet, I accidently left a reference to a function called “initSafariSearch()”.
This function simply replaces the standard boring input text box with the nice Safari style one.

Update: I’ve added a little example below…
As most of you know there lurks browsers that we don’t really like building web sites for (*cough* Internet Explorer) and there comes a time in any developers work when they need to detect browsers. jQuery has a really nice API for detecting browsers, but sometimes you want to go a bit further.
The snippet I’m putting on this page will detect the browser and OS for you and add a nice little CSS class to the body tag, thus allowing you to write up all your CSS ready for users of different browser and OS creed.

This is a really handy tip if you use jQuery frequently and are receiving JSON data back. jQuery’s “$.post” allows you to do a POST call to your application and get the data back, but you have to flag the type of data being received by jQuery so that it can parse it.
