>I'm using a little JavaScript to re-direct the user past the flash page if
they don't have the plugin, but I don't know how to make them stay at the
current page if they do have it.  Is it possible to have them stay at that
page and have the flash content on it or do I have to make them either go to
the flash page or the non-flash page?  Here's a little bit of the code I'm
using but I just don't know how to say "if useFlash, then stay HERE, else,
go here. . . "

What you really need is one of the JS programs that examine the users system
for flash capability.  I have heard of them but am not sure where you can
locate one.

It is not recommended to use the meta refresh tag or other common forms of
refresh.  Several of the Search Engines ban websites that use refresh.  They
think some splash pages are used to trick their indexing spider and allow a
higher SE rating.
