HI there,

I have some code on a site that detects the browser(IE or NN) then detects within this if it has flash.If no flash then it gives you a html navigation otherwise it will give you a flash navigation.

The problem I encounter is that when a person has their flash plugin disabled, no navigation comes up. How do I add that in as a parameter also. In other words if there is flash but is not enabled then it will go to the html navigation?

Attached is the code  
TIA
