A friend of mine find this in www-vrml mailing list.
var num_of_plugins = navigator.plugins.length;
for (var i=0; i < num_of_plugins; i++)
{
var list_number=i+1;
document.write(navigator.plugins[i].name);
// ... and check here is navigator.plugins[i].name contains
// ... "Cosmo Player 2.0" or check is it just contains Cosmo if
// ... you are using a different version.
}
bye
