			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ever since Flash Player 10 arrived on the scene, Flash websites here and there have begun having a problem:  They&#8217;ll insist that you need a newer version of Flash Player, in spite of the fact that you&#8217;ve got version 10 happily installed.  If you&#8217;re running Internet Explorer, you won&#8217;t have any problem, but if you&#8217;re running Firefox, Safari, Netscape, or Google&#8217;s new Chrome browser, then there&#8217;s trouble.</p>
<p>The problem lies in a small javascript file:  <a href="http://jsbrwsniff.sourceforge.net/index.html" target="_blank&quot;">brwsniff.js</a>, a handy dandy browser sniffer that checks for the installed Flash Player version number.  The bit of code written for non-IE browsers wasn&#8217;t expecting a player with a version number of more than one digit; so, seeing only the one&#8217;s place digit, if you&#8217;ve got Flash Player 10 installed, the script comes up with a version number of ZERO! <img src='http://studio.barliesque.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/07.png' alt=':arg:' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Unfortunately, the author of this otherwise delightful script has not updated the file since before Flash Player 10 was released.  Having made the minor repair necessary, I&#8217;m making my updated version available for download <a href="http://studio.barliesque.com/blog/download/brwsniff.zip"><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">HERE</span></strong></a>.</p>
<p><strong>Please note: </strong><em> If for some reason you needed this script to detect the browser software in use, I&#8217;m afraid you&#8217;re still out of luck.  The script seems to see everything as either IE or Firefox.</em></p>
<p><em><strong>[UPDATE]<br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Got a message from Pau Garcia i Quiles, author of jsbrwsniff.  He&#8217;ll publish a bugfix soon&#8212;until he does, download the version posted here.  I&#8217;ll announce when an official bug fix becomes available.  New features he&#8217;s planning to add in the coming months:</span></span></strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-style: normal;"></p>
<ul>
<li>Encapsulation to avoid namespace clashing</li>
<li>Java version detection</li>
<li>Adobe PDF detection</li>
</ul>
<p></span></span></strong></em></p>
