Hi, thanks for the help. I think I may have figured out what I need to try and do here. I think I need to get something into the browser as a plugin when the desktop app is installed on the clients machine, then I can detect the plugin with Javascript as it should be available when a client visits the website.
So I guess that means writing at least two plugins: 1 for IE and 1 for firefox.
