I _think_ the latter bit is deliberate: IIRC, Opera uses the Netscape plugin. //snipped// > I tried that in the first version of Squeakland. It worked halfway > reliably on Netscape browsers.

(I'm not sure that you can do this with javascript -- maybe you can) you'd do something like: PHP browser recognition: If IE 5.5 serve a page: "sorry, those nice people at Microsoft deemed that our plugin is no longer supported" else if IE serve a page with the VBscript else if (just about) anything else, serve a page with the javascript. Given that Squeakland runs Linux anyway, as does Je77, all you need is Apache (which you've probably got) the PHP module and away you go. Ask nicely and I'm sure someone on the PHP list would write you the script! I did peek for something to do this entirely in PHP in the PHP manual, but couldn't find anything: I could so easily be wrong ;-) BTW can someone take a peek at the alt attribute for the Tux image of the Linux download page? I'm sure it has a rather disconcerting reference to Microsoft! Cheers John -- If you don't care about your data, like file systems which automagically destroy themselves and have money to burn on 3rd party tools to keep your system staggering on, Microsoft (tm) have the Operating System for you.
