--->I don't have the plug-in yet cause I wanted to see what new IE4.5 users

would see on a new install.  I thought Flash was supposed to be standard

equipment by now but it isn't in this scenerio.  So before I install the

plugin I'd like to make sure that I have a back up that works and at least

displays a still image.

I read the tech note about IEMac not being plugin-detectable so what is the

answer? I guess I need to have a js that will send users to another page or

doc.write the img html if nothing else works.  Anyone else have a sucessful

script to share?
