Hi Everyone,

           I wish everyone would use a regular browser. Unfortunatley, alot
of people use aol and have to see my site. In the beginning of my site, I
have a series of javascripts to determine the viewer's browser version,
platform, and whether they have flash or not, with the result being that
everyone who comes to my site gets wither the animated gif or flash movie,
and not a blank flash document. The problem is that some people use aol to
look at my site, and the AOL browser does not read my javascripts, It just
gives the aol user a blank screen or an error on my site. Now, why doesnt
aol's browser use javascript? Are there specific javascripts just for aol?
If so, can someone point me to a site where I can get aol compatible
scripts? Any help would be appreciated and you can see my site at
http://www.bigduckstudio.com  - thanks in advance.

                                            -Dale
