Re: QT (and other) plug-in detection scripts



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.
