JavaScript: Cross-browser "browser plugin" detection

Question

I'm looking for a script that will allow me to detect if a user has Windows Media Player installed, or Quicktime, or Flash, or Silverlight...

Ideally, this would be jQuery plugin, but any script will do.

Do you know of one you can recommend?

Answer 1

PluginDetect seems to work pretty good. You can generate a minified version of the script and only select the plugins you want to detect and functions you need.

Answer 2

Try jqPlugin.
