Hey man....can you tell me where those "methods of detecting flash without
java" are posted. I am interested to read them. If you don't mind me
asking: How did you do it on your site?

I've posted (a few times) method that routes users to a Flash or non-Flash
page without the user having to make a choice regardless of whether the
plug-in can be detected with JavaScript. But only one person has commented
about it.

The issue is that some browsers don't have a plug-in object so it's
impossible to find out if the plug-in exists in all cases with JavaScript
alone.
