- HTML code to show a static pic if Flash not installed
- Posted by Astra on February 24th, 2004
Hi Guys
Wonder if you could help.
I hate sites that show a bit of swf and simply expect the user to click the
ominous looking 'install flash' window. I know quite a few browsers already
have flash installed by default now so I'm looking for some standard HTML
code that will allow me to do the following:
IF flash installed
show swf anim....
ELSE
show static jpg/gif pic
END IF
That's it.
Can you help?

Why not have two simple links?
1. Click here to see Flash.
2. Otherwise click here.
I presume in this case the Flash is essential, because of course things
would be much simpler if you didn't have it at all.

Sometimes flash has a strong case for promotion / marketing / usability -
even though a HTML version will work...
The above solution is very good as the installation of flash popup is VERY
annoying especially if you do not have the right to....

It's not a perfect solution, but it will do what you want......
<table width="100" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td height="100" background="backgroundimage.jpg">
<object><embed src="foregroundflash.swf"></embed></object></td>
</tr>
</table>
Yes, I know the code is scrappy.....I threw it together quickly in
dreamweaver and removed any uneccesary stuff.....
