No Flash? script

Hi Guys

Anybody know a way to automatically display a graphic rather than a swf file
if the browser hasn't got flash installed?

I don't want to force people to see a 'Do you want to download Flash?'
message box, but I also don't want to leave a big gap if they don't have
flash.

Many thanks.

The <object> tag was designed to contain any information that could not
be displayed by the object, so you'd have:

<object stuff_here>
<img src="">
</object>

But its dodgy because of bad browser support.

You could always use css z-index...
