ahh Nigel, but there's the rub: flash detection at this point is
unreliable. I find it out all the time using IE 4.5 for the Mac.
I agree that this would be the perfect solution if we could get it to
work.
Along with detecting dhtml, css and all the other capabilities or lack
thereof!!!!!
I know it can be done for the latter items, but where do you draw the
compatibility line when you are trying to reach even the low end for a
commerce site????
