quicktime and WMP detection problems

**riptide** · 05-08-2007, 03:26 PM

I have two scripts one for Windows media player and one for Quicktime. the one for QT I can't seem to get to work. also I'm wondering why I can't call the function for WMP though the QT function.

Code:

</script>

<!--WMP function-->

<script language="JavaScript">
function testForWMP(){
var player; 
var plugin; 
var hasActiveX=false;

try{ 
if(window.ActiveXObject)
  {
    hasActiveX = true;
    player = new ActiveXObject("WMPlayer.OCX.7"); 
  }
  else if (window.GeckoActiveXObject)
  {
    hasActiveX = true;    
    player = new GeckoActiveXObject("WMPlayer.OCX.7");
  }  
  } catch(oError) { }
  try  {
  if(navigator.mimeTypes)
  {
    plugin = navigator.mimeTypes['application/x-mplayer2'].enabledPlugin; 
  } 
  }catch (oError) { }
var message = "Your browser "+ (hasActiveX ? "does" : " does not") +" support ActiveX. \n";
message +=  "The Windows Media Player ActiveX control is"+ ( player ? "" : " not") +" installed. \n";
message += "The Windows Media Plugin "+ (plugin ? "is" : "is not") +" installed. \n";
alert(message);	 
}
</script>

</head>

<script type="text/javascript"><!-- 
function startVideo() {
	if (Plugin.isInstalled("QuickTime")) {
	    var quickTime = Plugin.getInfo("QuickTime");
		if (parseInt(quickTime.version) == 6 && 
quickTime.version.indexOf("6.5") == 0 || parseInt(quickTime.version) >= 7) {alert("you have quicktime")
			
			return false;
			}
		
		
		}
		
		
		} else {testForWMP()/*can't tell if this works*/
			
			return false;
		}
	}
	return false;
}
// --></script>

<!--javascript for second quticktime navigator-->

<script language="Javascript">
var haveqt = false;
    
	 
	 if (navigator.plugins) {
          for (i=0; i < navigator.plugins.length; i++ ) {
               if (navigator.plugins[i].name.indexOf("QuickTime") >= 0)
                    { haveqt = true; }
					if (haveqt==true)
					{alert("you have qt")}
            }
        }
// — >
</script>
