RE: FLASH: JavaScript-Free Flash Detection

[David Williamson]

This is a great idea, Spooky have used this method of flash detection on

all the sites since just after flash 2 came out.

Unlike Java scripts you need no modifications for different browsers or

platforms and if you use it correctly on IE it will obviousely have the

ability to install the active x command, and you can still check for

flash 2 as well by using the old cab file number as the base.


good call


cheers dave
