Re: FLASH: Flash Plug-In for IE on Mac

[hub]

Hi


Sorry, you may have the plugin installed but when you come across a page

that uses javascript detection, it fails with Mac IE.

This is because IE doesn't support javascript detection and will always

return a value of false when asked if it has the flash plugin installed.


If no js detection routine is used then you will be able to see the flash

content. 


This is why the alternative of using flash to detect flash and using a meta

redirect is suggested by both macromedia and http://www.moock.org/ for

example.


Also just to clarify, IE and NEtscape are two completely different browsers

in so far as how they treat detection, javascript, css etc etc. Neither

fully support any standards that might be out there.


Cheers
