(sorry, couldn't resist :) Browser scripting is the only way to detect Flash. Check the code generated by Flash 4's publish output. It works fairly well, except for Explorer on Mac. I tend to use the Flash generated detection in combo with checking the [browsername] in webcat for Mac Explorer. When I detect that browser, I include a small flash movie in the page that is a single frame with a get url action that takes the browser to the flash based site. So if they have flash, they will jump to the flash page. If they don't, they will see the current hard coded page and a small broken plugin icon, which is not a bad compromise.Mike ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
