Hi there

Can anyone help me with this bit of javascript: it's a flash detection script but all it seems to do for me is write <'image_bin/noflash.gif' alt='Download Flash Plug In' \/> on the page!

I do have flash installed on my machine but it seems not to be picking it up.

Please find script below:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

<!-- Hide script from older browsers

if (navigator.plugins["Shockwave Flash"]) {

document.write("<object classid='clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000' codebase='http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=4,0,0,0'><param name='movie' value='swf_bin/intro.swf'><emdbed pluginspage='http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/' src='swf_bin/intro.swf'><\/embed><\/object>")

}

else {

document.write("<'image_bin/noflash.gif' alt='Download Flash Plug In' \/>")

}

// End hiding script from older browsers -->
</script>

thanks alot

Adam

Just a suggestion, Macromedia has a complete kit for detecting Flash.
http://www.macromedia.com/software/f.../detection_kit

And it's a Navigator only script, IE doesn't list plugins under plugins, only embedded objects.

OK, will go with that!

thanks

There's a Flash detect script here http://www.javascriptkit.com/script/...indetect.shtml which claims to work in NS and IE. Never tried it myself...
