Name
plugins — NN 3 IE 4 DOM n/a
Synopsis
Navigator and Internet Explorer both
have a plugins
array, but they are quite different
collections of objects. Navigator’s plugins
array is a property of the navigator
object. Each
item in the navigator.plugins
array represents a
plugin that is installed in the browser (actually just registered
with the browser when the browser last loaded). See the
plugin
object.
Internet Explorer’s plugins
collection
belongs to the document
object and essentially
mirrors the embeds
collection: a collection of all
EMBED
elements in the document. An
EMBED
element may well, indeed, launch a plugin,
but not necessarily. Nor does Internet Explorer provide JavaScript
access to the installed plugins in the same way that Navigator does.
