Subject: FLASH: plugin detect
From: Patrick Dunne
Date: Mon, 11 Jan 1999 08:50:35 GMT

Hi shockers,

Wondering if someone can lend me a hand with a plugin detect script. I
picked up the JS below from FlashCentral and pasted it into the index.html
of the site I'm working on. It is all by itself. I then changed
'shocked.html' to 'myshockedpage.html' and 'nonshocked.html' to
'mynonshocked.html'. My understanding was that this script would act as a
fork in the road taking users to either the shocked entry page or the dull
one. Instead, I receive a dialog box in IE 4.01 and 4.5 saying "A script
error occurred. ... etc." It says the error occurred on line 8 and is an
"invalid character". A similar result occurs with netscape 4.0 (it claims
the error is #15 in netscape).

One other thing: Why does the script have a url to download the plugin if
this script just send users to the shocked or non-shocked page?

Any help would be hugely appreciated.

Pat
