IE, NS, Firefox do not really deal with the problem. Firefox/Mozilla/NS have this scheme that is supposed to redirect you to some plug-in clearing-house, but it never works. If you really want to solve this problem, I suggest that you focus on IE on Win. That will pick up the majority of the market. With IE it should be possible to write some vbscript that will automatically install the Sun Java Plug-in as an ActiveX control. It should be possible ... but I have never done it. Q: Are you sure that this is something that you want to pursue?
