Re: FLASH: How can I check stats of Flash Plug-in presence on anexistingsite?

[Matt Coyne]

Thanks Robbert-Jan.


I have a tracker from theCoubter.com already but it dosesn't check for

plug-ins. Checked out Hitbox, and although it does, it can only do it for

Netscape. Unfortunately not much use since the majority (currently 70%) of

visitors are using a version of IE.


Is it not possible to check for plug-ins on IE? I know about the prb with IE

4.5 for the Mac, but I did not think this was prevalent in diff

versions/diff platforms!


Any more help (from anybody) would be very gratefully received (see original

message below).


TIA
