no i don't have the plug-in installed for N3, precisely so I can check what

happens when it's not present...sorry not to have told you that before

(er..ooops)



> IE4 thing is very strange indeed

my understanding on detection issues is pretty weak to say the least, but

IE4 won't recognise Aftershock code that has detection script in it.  You

have to generate an alternate page that doesn't have the detection script

for Mac's IE4 to read it.  IE3?  i thought this was an across the board Mac

IE issue - (though it seems IE generally doesn't have (the correct version

of?) LiveConnect/Active X and IE4 doesn't have VB script, so maybe the

difference is in there) .  Crashings etc are, i think, kind of 'standard

responses' to the regular A'shock code.  There was a thread on this a while

back, the upshot seeming to be 'generate another html page with a link to

the Flashed site telling people who know they've got Flash installed to go

there' - please anyone correct me if i'm wrong 


....hope this clarifies it a bit - sorry if i've repeated what you already

knew.  You're right, it is completely bizarre really ;
