you might use the navigators's plugin property to retrieve information about plugins ... what exactly do you need to know?

kind regards

Hi gits,

Actually i want to know the client machine does have shockwave plugin or not.

I have .swf file to show on my webpage. But if client does not have plugin then he might not able to see. So i need to know the plugin is there on not.

If it is not there then i want to show him a simple .jpg instead of .swf.

Hope you have got my point.

Does anyone have solution to this?

Awaiting for your reply.

Thanks in advance.

as i said already ... you might make use of the navigator's plugins property ... here is an example:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 <html>

<head>

<script type="text/javascript">
 
function displayPluginInfo () {

    var plugins = navigator.plugins;

    var output  = document.createElement('div');
 
    for (var i in plugins) {

        var plugin = plugins[i];
 
        if (/shockwave/ig.test(plugin.name)) {

            alert('shockwave-plugin present');

        }
 
    }

}
 
</script>

</head>
 
<body onload="displayPluginInfo();">

</body>
 
</html>

kind regards
