If a site asks your browser whether it has a plugin, then IE/Mac cannot

tell JavaScript what it can do. The Microsoft browsers do not usefully

support the navigator.plugins JavaScript property.


Rephrased, if a site's browser detection is set up to only show a browser

what the browser says it can handle, then the IE/Mac browsers will not see

interesting material on that site.
