Hi Richard,
This thread has been going for a while, so here is the function
It gets stuck when the function accesses typeof navigator.plugi ns
For some reason in the Winodows 98 version of IE, the statement for
(var i in p) is generating invalid values in variable i. Do not know
the story. I have coded up a workaround.
For testing javascript programs, I recommend using a Gecko based
browser like Netscape 7.1.
Example code follows.
I have not tried all the error paths.
