$(document).ready(function(){

    /* Get browser */
    $.browser.chrome = /chrome/.test(navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase());

    /* Detect Chrome */
    if($.browser.chrome){
        /* Do something for Chrome at this point */
        alert("You are using Chrome!");
        
        /* Finally, if it is Chrome then jQuery thinks it's 
           Safari so we have to tell it isn't */
        $.browser.safari = false;
    }

    /* Detect Safari */
    if($.browser.safari){
        /* Do something for Safari */
        alert("You are using Safari!");
