The flash detection script is simply flawed, it asks for navigator.plugins (evaluates to true in IE, NN4, mozilla.) and document.layers or document.all NN4 (& Omniweb) support document.layers. IE4+ (& Konq,Opera, Omniweb) support document.all Mozilla doesn't, therefore the script stops processing. It's simply bad scripting. nothing more. > I'm currently sending nagging messages to webmasters, on the basis that > 50% can't be wrong. > > However a standard would help. Standard for flash detection? we should have that - in HTTP_ACCEPT or graceful degradation of the object element making it meaningless... That doesn't happen though. Jim.
