Wondering if there is a way to get the version/type of media player a visitor has installed.
I was thinking something like http_user_agent but I have yet to see a user agent that will specify the media player.
Any ideas?
This will probibly have to be done with JavaScript. I can't double check this right now but I think Dreamweaver MX has a few prebuilt plugin detection scripts for this type is situation. That's what I use for my coding, very nice. Try searching for "JavaScript plugin detection" on the Web.
can do w/ javascript

maybe some app out there, like Browserhawk (com ojbect), but that could be used w/ Unix...?
