It's great to use current and new technologies on your web site, but you want
to be able to suppot older browsers and more cautious users too; not everyone
has Flash, so you have to compromise? Not really - you CAN sense whether or
not Flash is loaded onto a browser ... and call up alteratives (different links
and different images, for example) depending on what you find.
This demonstration tells you whether or not the Flash plugin is installed
on your browser.
Result of test should be above. You will not see any result at all
if you do not have JavaScript!
Now let's call up a static image if we're unsure of our Flash, or a flash
movie if we know we can (later that version 6)!
And a link which will differ depending on whether
or not we have Flash - to illustrate how this works, I will
provide a link to the indes page of our course directory
if I sense that you have Flash, and a link to our main home
page if you do not.
