Hi there,

Does anyone know where I can find a plugin and bandwidth detection script(I have been through the forums… no luck !). I am basically trying to find out what plugins the user has on their pc ie. quicktime, flash,as well a the bandwidth speed. I know how the do flash plugin detection , but this is more a information before you start browsing the website type thing. There is a lot of quicktime on the site…

Any Sug…

Thanx.
