IE6 and navigator.plugi n solution?

HI
I am wondering if there is a solution to the IE6 missing navigator.plugi n
feature. would something like the OBJECT tag with the
type="applicato n/x-shockwave-flash" where one can count the methods and then
compare it to the type="" method count?

just wondering

Uh, Internet Explorer for Windows doesn't support plug-ins, but rather
program components embedded into web pages (though the Eolas lawsuit may
change that). The way to detect Flash is:
new ActiveXObject(' SockwaveFlash.S hockwaveFlash')

See the MSDN for more information. Be sure to do object detection.

Though this is a possibility, most people use VBScript for this purpose.

However, perhaps a better way is to just include alternative content in
the "object" element.

Hello, I'm attempting to develop a plugin framework for an application that I'm working on. I wish to develop something in which all plugins exist in a directory tree.

They need contain only one variable called 'plugin' which is a reference to an...

I am now aware (I am primarily a C++ developer) that in C# if you reference the same interface from the same file in two different projects the types are actually incompatible. I found this out because I have written a generic plugin system for my current and future C# needs. I defined a base plugin system interface named IPlugin (original, I know...) which contains some basic plugin infomration all plugins of this system must expose...
