I am trying to use javascript to detect what version of the Acrobat Reader a browser has installed.
I am having trouble detecting the plug in for Internet Explorer with Javascript. I have found a way to
do it with vbscript but I need to use Javascript.
Can anyone help me? Any ideas or thoughts would be appreciated.
I replaced the tag brackets with | so it would show up.

			

			|script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"|
			

			

			browser='OTHER';
			

			

			if (navigator.appName=='Microsoft Internet Explorer')
			

			{
			

			browser='MSIE';
			

			}
			

			if (navigator.appVersion.indexOf('MSIE 3')>0)
			

			{
			

			browser='MSIE';
			

			}
			

			

			if (browser=='OTHER')
			

			{
			

			var acrmode = false
			

			

			acrPlugin = navigator.plugins['Adobe Acrobat'];
			

			

			if (acrPlugin.description == 'Adobe Acrobat Plug-In Version 5.00 for Netscape')
			

			{
			

			acrmode = true
			

			}
			

			}
			

			

			

			|/script|
			

			

			|script language="vbscript" type="text/vbscript"|
			

			

			on error resume next
			

			var acrmode
			

			acrmode = IsObject(CreateObject("pdf.pdfctrl.5"))
			

			

			-->
			

			|/script|
			

			

			|script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"|
			

			

			function acrobatCheck()
			

			{
			

			if (acrmode){
			

			

			}
			

			else{
			

			

			if (confirm('For best results, it is recommended that you open this file with the latest version of the Adobe Acrobat Reader. It appears you do not have the latest version installed. Would you like to download it now?'))
			

			{
			

			window.location='../mit/tsd/dl_acr.htm';
			

			return false;
			

			}
			

			else
			

			{
			

			return true;
			

			}
			

			}
			

			}
