Shockwave script? and dorky question

[paz@best.com (paz)]

Is there a Java Script that can see if the browser that is acessing a page
has the ShockWave plug-in?  or, and I'm going on third-hand information
here, a script that asks the user if they have the plug-in installed and
sends them to a different set of pages contigent on their reply?

Where can I find it?

NEWBIE QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
Does a server need a particular app to run pages with java-scripts or is it
all browser interpreted?  and if so, where can I donwload the foremntioned
app for a unix and apple server?

Thanks,
