<NOEMBED> problem
I have a shockwave movie which is refered to in my HTML document through the <EMBED> tag. For users who do not have the Shockwave plug-in I have provided an animated GIF.
When I use the <NOEMBED></NOEMBED> tags in a browser which does not have access to the Plug-In, instead of the GIF I get a missing plug-in symbol. I have also tried a simple test HTML file which displays a text string when the plug-in is not present - this did not work either.
I have copied numerous examples of how to achieve his from various books and magazines without success. Furthermore, I have tried using JavaScript e.g:
if (navigator.mimeTypes["appl
// EMBED code goes here
else
// NON-EMBED code goes here
<!--END -->
This works fine in Netscape 3.0 but produces a 'mimeType is not an array error' in Netscape 2.0. In addition, I would prefer to avoid using JavaScript since the shockwave or gif animations appear on my opening home page.
I have included the HTML code below. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.
<EMBED SRC ="swlogo.dcr" WIDTH=360 HEIGHT=200>
<NOEMBED><TABLE BORDER=0 CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0>
<TR><TD><IMG SRC="animlogo.gif"></TD></
<TR><TD><IMG SRC="dbkgnd.gif" ALT = "Daydream Interactive"
WIDTH=341 HEIGHT=58></TD></TR>
</TABLE></NOEMBED>
