I thought that if Flash wasn't installed, the browser would prompt you to download and install it rather than just displaying the alternate content? I use JavaScript detection for cases where the Flash content is not important and I don't want the user to be bugged to install Flash every time they visit the page. I could be wrong - I don't think I tested it with the alterate content actually in the object tag. -- Kay Smoljak http://kay.smoljak.com/ ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
