    Can you detect whether a browser has i-drop plug in capability?

    Hi all,

    I am writing a few pages to display some i-drop objects. I am probably going to browser sniff for IE as they are the best browser for viewing activex objects. I was wondering though if there is any way I can auto-detect whether somebody's browser has the i-drop plug in or not? I could then send them to the download page to grab it if they don't.

    Thanks,

    Richard

    Internet Explorer works with XML and ActiveX.
    That is what i-drop is working. The activeX program take the drawing from the internet Explorer the information where the drawing is and then download it from its location through internet explorer ( it has XML file which the user can not see) and then insert the drawing to AutoCAD.

    i-drop is another way of transferring drawings from the internet Explorer.

    There fore you can not sniff any thing because it does not have any special built built in?

    May be the mouse image which you will see different image when you place your mouse?

    I do not know if the image for i-drop has a number or Hexidecimal and by that you want to turn on your program good luck.

    But what is your main purpose of sniffing the Internet explorer?

    Good luck
