This might be simple, but it escapes me.

Is there a way to tell if a browser has the quicktime plug-in installed and to find out what version of quicktime it is?

Thanks in advanced.

But is there a way to check for a specific version of QuickTime? My site has some videos that people using old versions of QuickTime (like QT 6) have problems playing. I would like to redirect them to the QuickTime download page or bring up a message box if the version of QT they have is older than QT 7.
