document.addEventListener('deviceready', function() {navigator.inCordova =
true;}, false);If you fire 'deviceready' yourself then you already know that you're not in a cordova app context. Don't you ? Sorry, I really don't see what the problem is. Maybe an real world example would help illustrate it. Or is there a reason why you don't want to use deviceready as an indicator ?
