CD/Flash detection help

2 New Member
I have been trying to find a method to detect when a cd has been inserted. I would prefer to use java, but I am open to other languages as well. I came up with a method that uses a timer to query the drive itself, but I do not think that is a very efficient/proper method to do what I want.

The reason I included flash is because I would guess that it would be very similar to cd detection also.

If anybody has helpful hints or tips that would be appreciated.

Hello, there is a known problem with Opera and the execution of content shown in <NOSCRIPT> tag. Everythings works fine, if there is only one simple script like: http://www.dr-wald.de/test/Opera-NOSCRIPT.html Switching off Javascript will show the alternative content. Javascript enabled will only show the JS-content, _not_ the <NOSCRIPT> content.

Hi, I use a handy little Javascript Flash detection script on a number of sites (copied below). Usually works great, but I just started trying Firefox and it's not working. A few browsers are referenced in the script so I presume that Firefox needs to be added somewhere -- does anyone know how I could update this to be supported by Firefox? Thanks! <SCRIPT TYPE="text/JavaScript">

Hey everyone, i've been playing around with trying to get some scripts to work with detecting whether flash player is installed on your computer or not. I found a flash detection kit on the adobe site which had a client side detection method using javascript. Basically what im trying to get it to do is if flash player is installed, use the style property display="none" to hide my static content, and if flash is not installed hide the flash...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
