plugin detection on MAC and UNIX/LINUX systems

[sahib]

hola.

can anyone tell me if/how it is possible to detect browser plugins (Navigator and MSIE) on MAC and UNIX/LINUX systems ?

do they support the navigator.plugins object ?

many thanks in advance for any hints you can provide. :)

You can't. MSIE has the plugins array but its empty. Navigator is good, but its array isn't good enough. I hear some newer version of MSIE for Mac only uses the plugins array like Navigator, but the only real way to detect plugins is with Java or VBScript. Sorry, that sucks, doesn't it?
