Re: FLASH: Detecting if java enabled for CFSET flashmoviename.swf

[Gregg Caines]

If you have JavaScript testing for java then you can get it to 

redirect to a second page if it has java, and a third page if it 

does not.  A cleaner, yet more complex way to do it would 

be to get the JavaScript to redirect to the same page with a 

"?java=true" or "?java=false" querystring and have that same 

page handle those cases.


You can use a meta-refresh tag to redirect users to the 

non-java page if the test doesn't work due to not having 

JavaScript.  You should also take into consideration the 

possibility that 


navigator.appName != 'Microsoft Internet Explorer' 


It still happens sometimes, though not that often. ;)
