Hi Tom,

Only necessary on web pages that need to differentiate between iOS and other 
operating systems/browsers.  (Keep in mind, there are other mobile browsers out 
there … Chrome on Android, for example.  So you shouldn’t be using iPad/iPhone 
detection code just to determine if you’re working with a small screen.)

We use it on pages that have embedded video, since the native iOS video player 
works better on iOS devices than our standard player does.

It’s a good idea, generally, to have a single JS file that contains any 
javascript routines that are commonly used across your site … and other JS 
files that are specific to certain pages.  Browser detection may fall in the 
former or latter category, depending on what you’re doing.  If you’ve 
historically been using a browser detector somewhere that looked for the 
iPhone/iPad userAgent, this code would go in to replace (really, to augment) 
that.  If that detection code is actually spread across multiple pages, you 
could either a) use this opportunity to put it in a single JS file and have 
those pages reference that file, or b) use a program like BBEdit or Dreamweaver 
to find those files and replace the code in each of them.

As always, I recommend a pot of coffee and suitable mood music before starting.

Ron
