Re: FLASH: Shockwave-Plugin-Detection

[Phil Ward]

If you are using Dreamweaver, I have two behaviours which will allow the

kind of detection and re direction you require, mail me off list and I will

send them to you.


If you don't use Dreamweaver I can send you the HTML for you to insert your

own links, let me know which browsers you are trying to detect.


The only problem with the detection is that IE on Mac cannot detect plugins

so users will always be told that they require the plugin, even if they

already have it.
