You just have to write your object / embed tags code with JavaScript. Use FlashObject and relax. ummm, that's the problem - no JavaScript worky - no write out object at all = screwed. He's got a great point that we've been dealing with as well. We are using the FlashObject code, but if a

Ghostscript. Adobe's postscript printer You can write the eps manually (define some useful macros and the actual generation becomes easy) Probably XSLT would do the job as well. It really depends on what you want to do with the eps files and whether it is important to use eps at every step.

You also have to consider what users are turning off Javascript. First, Javascript is turned on by default. Second, you have to be somewhat savvy to know what Javascript is, much less turn it off, and also know what purpose turning it off serves. Third, you need to have a reason to turn it off.
