Rick I was going ot send this by PM but it seems that pms have been disabled for this board. I just wanted to thank you for all the help over the years. Going back to when you wrote the original vrml2.0 python exporter for blender. You have graciously answered all my clueless newbie questions.

I am really excited about ABNET2.0 client. The fact that a view/user to my world does NOT have to download and install MSJVM makes things
eliminated one step that would trip up most of the audiance that I am going for.

I recently posted this message to the x79 forum. I posted it there because its a general vrml/x3d board and I did not want to multiple post in various boards forums. But if anyone here knows and answer please feel free to let me know.

Thanks.

The easiest way to use multiple plugins is to create an html
page that is specific to each browser. Use the <object
tag that is appropriate for the browser you want to start

To get a contact browser

Thanks that would work for someone viewing as world that I built. What I was trying to ask though was about viewing worlds on my own machine to test them out In each plugin after I have built them. Would it work the same in that case.

Yes it would work the same way. HTML pages don't need to
be located on a website to work. In the source param
you just use:

<param name="src" value="file:c\some directory\some.wrl">

To answer you question on X79.net

I did exactly what you want for my own website, its also documented.

Instruction here
http://www.vrmlworlds.com/developer/tutorials/browserdetect/index.html

The resulting page.
http://www.vrmlworlds.com/developer/tutorials/browserdetect/worlds.html

You'll need to get the objectID for Flux and modify the plugin detector to get it to detect Flux. Most of my content doesn't work in flux so I haven't bothered. The NIST vrml detector page should have the information you need in its own code.

Regarding using multiple 3d plugins:
This maybe of little help, but Interesting! I found an extension for
Firefox that embeds IE within Firefox. So one click
of a button, and the page switches between IE and Firefox
(yet maintaining the Firefox skin). Now I can check two
plugins very very easily.

waht would be neat: is code that with one click of a button, the browser switches plug-ins.

cheers!
