Use the Check Plugin action to send visitors to different pages depending on whether they have the specified plug-in installed. For example, you might want visitors to go to one page if they have Shockwave and another page if they do not.
NOTE |
|
You cannot detect specific plug-ins in Internet Explorer using JavaScript. However, selecting Flash or Director will add the appropriate VBScript code to your page to detect those plug-ins in Internet Explorer on Windows. Plug-in detection is impossible in Internet Explorer on the Macintosh. |
You must use the exact name of the plug-in as specified in bold on the About Plug-ins page in Netscape Navigator. (In Windows, select Navigators Help > About Plug-ins command; on the Macintosh, select About Plug-ins from the Apple menu.)
If you specify a remote URL, you must include the http:// prefix in the address.
To make visitors with the plug-in stay on the same page, leave this field blank.
To make visitors without the plug-in stay on the same page, leave this field blank.
In general, if the plug-in content is integral to your page, select the "Always go to first URL if detection is not possible" option; visitors without the plug-in will often be prompted by the browser to download the plug-in. If the plug-in content is not essential to your page, leave this option deselected.
This option applies only to Internet Explorer; Netscape Navigator can always detect plug-ins.
If it isnt, select another event from the pop-up menu. If the events you want are not listed, change the target browser in the Show Events For pop-up menu.
