This is a very frequent topic online. The Microsoft browsers won't tell

JavaScript what plugins they have. Although the IE/Win browser can tell

VBScript some-but-not-all ActiveX Controls, IE/Mac will not say "yes, I

have a plugin".


That's why most detection routines give known-to-be-safe content to IE/Mac

visitors, and why most sites offer a manual override to any JavaScript

detection.


(Tip: If you already lost time by puzzling over this and writing a message,

then it can pay off big to actually read the messages on this list...

others will be facing similar types of problems before you do, so reading

can cut your experimentation time.)
