Thanks for the email, but this is the script that I am already using. For
some reason, for some people it is just showing a red screen. They are
using AOL on a e-machine.

Thanks,
Lesley.

Hi Lesley,

I have a simple script for the detection, below just change the Flash
content page url and the non Flash page url. This can be seen in action at
www.worksmc.com/phil2

Unfortunatley it does not detect flash plug-in for mac IE, but then again
you can't as IE Mac will not detect any plug-in (good old microsoft), hence
my comment on the no plug-in page www.worksmc.com/phil2/pages/no_plug.htm

As for the refresh why not just have a meta tag

<meta http-equiv="refresh"
content="howlongtowaitinseconds;URL=http://pagetogoto.htm">

Don't know how to check for javascript, sorry.

<html>
<head>
<title>page title</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function MM_checkPlugin(plugin, theURL, altURL, IEGoesToURL) { file://v2.0
if ((navigator.plugins && navigator.plugins[plugin]) || file://if NS, or
(IEGoesToURL && file://if flag set, and MSIE browser for Win95/NT
(ActiveX)
navigator.appName.indexOf('Microsoft') != -1 &&
navigator.appVersion.indexOf('Mac') == -1 &&
navigator.appVersion.indexOf('3.1') == -1)) {
if (theURL.length>2) window.location = theURL;
} else {
if (altURL.length>2) window.location = altURL;
}
document.MM_returnValue = false;
}
file://-->
</script>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="10">
</head>

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" onLoad="MM_checkPlugin('Shockwave
Flash','yourFlashpage
urlhere.htm',yournonflashpageurlhere.htm',true);return
document.MM_returnValue">
</body>
</html>
