Name

mimeType — NN 3 IE n/a DOM n/a

Synopsis

The mimeType object belongs to the navigator object. The object represents a MIME type specification. Its properties let scripts find out if the browser is equipped to handle a specific MIME type of external content before it is loaded from the server. All these properties are mirrored in the internal document displayed when you choose Navigator’s About Plug-ins menu option. Internet Explorer offers no comparable facilities.
