detection code I was using but I think I might have missed something<br>
very basic. The default behavior in IE and Firefox (at least the latest
versions) seems to be to initiate the install/upgrade and then load the<br>
content all very seamlessly. I find this to be a better experience that what I
am doing. In most cases I am displaying alternate content in the<br>
div tag that instructs the user to click on a button which points to the
upgrade page on Macromedia. This initiates a much less user-friendly<br>
install experience because of redirects/opening and closing of windows, etc. I
was thinking that I could replace my link to Macromedia with the<br>
bypass link and get the best of both worlds, but the bypass link seems to still
stop the automatic browser install. I'm just using a link back<br>
to the current page with ?flashDetect=false. Am I missing something about the
intent of this or doing something wrong?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
