I don't remember the original question, but when I look at the HTML to this

page I see some type of JavaScript detection routine that I don't

immediately recognize.


Is the core of the problem that some browsers don't respond to a JavaScript

test as intended...?


fwiw, I see that the OBJECT tag is requiring the 4.02 or later player... if

it doesn't require printing then you could require a lesser version on that

page, although I'm not sure whether this is related to the core problem

there.


hmm, looking at the JavaScript there, it seems to route IE/Mac visitors to

a different page, but it also seems to be sending visitors in NS2+ to a

"noflash" page. But that can't be right, because I visited in NS4.x/NT and

saw the SWF... I haven't opened up the JavaScript in a debugger.


Do you see anything particular to SWF content itself? Do you get what you

expect when *not* using that particular JavaScript routine...?
