Working with automoatic plug-ins...

[dmason165]

Hello all!

Has anyone worked with pages that automatically loaded plug-ins for their pages. My plug-in will be for a local site, so I was also wondering if I have the plug-in on the disc, can I make it so the plug-in is loaded just like an Internet site?

Thanks.

pluggins are installed in the browser itself, so that if browser comes accross a specific reqquest on a page it can respond to it,and all the pluggins which are installed are loaded with the browser,
I am not sure what you are suggesting ( loading a pluggin with a web page) is possible.

The only thing a browser can you do is to prompt you that there is no pluggin for a specific execution command on the page.

Cheers

Khalid,

I have a page that has an embedded video. The object calls for Windows Media Player (WMP). However, if a user doesn't have WMP installed, I would like to have the plug-in loaded, but without the user having to be connected to the Internet. I know I have had to download plug-ins before, so I know that it is possible for someone to be able to see the video.

What can I do to have the plug-in load automatically if the user doesn't have WMP installed.

I hope that was a good explination. Let me know if you need more detail.
