so… the tutorial on javascript redirection doesn’t work. as the script writer expects, the first conditional fails on internet explorer - for which navigator.mimeTypes is completely useless to find a flash plugin - but the second part which adds _another_ script to the page simply doesn’t run at all, meaning no one using IE is accurately forwarded.
