This process assumes that the user's browser supports the "META REFRESH" tag.
Current versions of Netscape and Internet Explorer both do. Browsers that don't support this tag don't support plug-ins anyway.
The method/test has two parts: a very small shockwave movie, and the HTML <META> tag. Within your `gateway' page, where the test will determine whether the user's browser has the Shockwave plug-in, you need to include the following tag within the <HEAD> section of your document:
<META HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" CONTENT="30; URL=(the URL of the unshocked version of your document)"">
This tag tells the browser to "refresh" the web page in 30 seconds with the content of the unshocked page at the URL. The second part is your tester Shockwave movie. This should be the smallest possible Shockwave movie which must include the following lingo command:
goToNetPage "(URL of your major shocked page)"
This tells the browser to go to your main Shockwave-enabled page before the META tag can tell the browser to go to the non-shocked page, and this is the reason you need to make the movie so small so that it loads faster than the META tag can execute.
If you have trouble with this, try extending the time before "refreshing" to more than 30 seconds.
