JS code to check different mobile devices

Today I come across a code snippet which uses JavaScript to check different mobile devices and then loads different CSS files accordingly. As we know that there are mobile devices with different screen sizes, it's always troublesome for web developers to develop cross browser and cross device compatible codes. Hope this one can help those who develop web apps on mobile devices.

// Check whether it's a mobile device

if(/AppleWebKit.*Mobile/i.test(navigator.userAgent) || (MIDP|SymbianOS|NOKIA|SAMSUNG|LG|NEC|TCL|Alcatel|BIRD|DBTEL|Dopod|PHILIPS|HAIER|LENOVO|MOT-|Nokia|SonyEricsson|SIE-|Amoi|ZTE/.test(navigator.userAgent))){
	if(window.location.href.indexOf("?mobile")<0){
		try{
			if(/Android|webOS|iPhone|iPod|BlackBerry/i.test(navigator.userAgent)){
				// Check whether the environment is Android|webOS|iPhone|iPod|BlackBerry
				setActiveStyleSheet("style_mobile_a.css");
			}else if(/iPad/i.test(navigator.userAgent)){
				// Check whether the environment is iPad
				setActiveStyleSheet("style_mobile_iPad.css");
			}else{
				// If other mobile devices
				setActiveStyleSheet("style_mobile_other.css");
			}
		}catch(e){
		}
	}
}else{
	// If it's other device
	setActiveStyleSheet("style_mobile_no.css");
}

function setActiveStyleSheet(filename){
	document.write("<link href="+filename+" rel=stylesheet>");
}

Here is the demo page(If you can understand Chinese) : Mobile_demo
