QT (and other) plug-in detection scripts

Jerry,

Thanks for writing. Which of the two pages I mention did you test?

The Apple site doesn't have "link detect all" but it has <http://developer.apple.com/internet/webcontent/examples/detectallplugins.shtml>Detecting all example, which fails for me: I see "false" for "Supports QuickTime" even though this IE plays QT 7 embeds just fine.

The knallgrau page displays a table, where for the QuickTime row I see two dots for "version" (although I see the correct "true" for "installed")

What am I doing differently? My IE is 7.0.5700.6. I have Default for all Security and Privacy settings.

Slava,
I went to the link you suggested and clicked on the " link detect all" at the bottom of the page. The script properly detected, shockwave, QT and WMP. I'm running IE7 with QT 7.1 on WinXP Home sp2.

Does anyone know why this Apple solution fails with the current release of IE 7? It falsely reports that QT 7 is not installed.

More specifically, function detectQuickTimeActiveXControl() returns false

Just visit the page with IE 7, with QT 7 installed, to see it.

I've been investigating various plug-in detection scripts, and so far that is the best I found--except for the IE7/QT7 problem. Also, it does not report the version of QT, unfortunately.

This one reports the QT version, but also fails for QT in IE7:

What's your favorite solution for detecting the Main Four media plug-ins in popular browsers?

Any tips will be appreciated.
