>In an install script, refreshPlugins()
I tried but it is not working
In the install.js, what I have is something like
err = performInstall();
if(err == 0)
{
// refresh the plug-in
refreshPlugins();
//alert("Please restart Netscape to finish installation.");
}
In the html page, I have a 5sec timer that constant check the presence of
mimetype but it always return undefined.
function MrscNS6PluginRefresh(){
// navigator.plugins.refresh(true);
mrscMimetype = navigator.mimeTypes[mrscAppMoz];
mrscExistingVer = InstallTrigger.getVersion(mrscPluginPath);
if(mrscMimetype)
{
if( mrscExistingVer != null )
{
if( InstallTrigger.compareVersion(mrscPluginPath, mrscNewVer) == 0 )
{
clearInterval(mrscPluginTick);
mrscPluginTicking = false;
//location.reload(true);
}
}
}
};
However, navigator.plugins.refresh(true) is working but it refresh/reload
the whole page.
The problem is that I don't know if the installation completed.
thanks.
