This script portion will sniff for Flash 3. If you don't have 3, it

sends you to an installation page (script tested and used on GWEN):


//if they have Flash 2, they can't continue

if(navigator.plugins && navigator.plugins["Shockwave Flash 2.0"]){

	window.location='installflash.html';}



//if they have MSIE running on anything but Mac or Win 3.1 OR

//if they have Flash 3.0 (which identifies itself simply as "Shockwave

Flash"

//then let them see the content.

else{

     if ((navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer" &&

        navigator.appVersion.indexOf("Mac") == -1 && 

        navigator.appVersion.indexOf("3.1") == -1) ||

	  (navigator.plugins && navigator.plugins["Shockwave Flash"]))



     {

     //Load the Flash content page.

        window.location='flashcontent.html';

     }

     else {

        //Load a pre-defined HTML page without Shockwave into the

browser window.

        window.location='installflash.html';

	}

}
