View Full Version : Flash navigation in HTML page

I am certain my question has come up before but I can't seem to track anything down in the archives. I have a static HTML page. What I want to do is replace the HTML navigation with Flash navigation IF the user is able to view it. I'm not positive how to do this. I know I need some sort of detection script, but would I be dealing with two separate pages or is there a way to have the Flash navigation just "be there" if Flash is detected?

The point would be keeping it all seamless. The page should load the same way for the user and if they have Flash, they'll see Flash navigation, if they don't, HTML nav.

Hope the question makes sense. If the topic has been covered before, maybe somebody remembers which thread I should look for. Thanks, all...

The last time I checked, Colin Moocks FPI (Flash detector based on JavaScript) allowed you to redirect the user's browser or write content into the current HTMl file depending not only on whether or not the user has Flash but what version they have also. See www.moock.org and follow the links to find his FPI.
