Hi, guys!
I´m not sure if this is the right forum to post my doubt so… sorry if I am wrong.
Anyway, I am trying to implement adobe´s standard flash version detection code in my web-site. However, I am not experienced with Javascript so I am having a hard time editing it. The code actually works, given the fact that it displays a message and a link for flash plugin download when the user´s browser does not support the plugin version that I need. However, I want the code to redirect the user to another html page where I can put some graphics and try to ask the user to download the plugin in a more elegant way… Any help will be much appreciated!! Here is the code so far:
