How to notify user flash is not installed (without javascript)

Question

I would like to notify with a very simple text (Flash is not installed on your browser)

</head>
<body>
<object ...codes...>
<param ...codes...>
<param ...codes...>
<embed  ...codes...>
</embed>

No you can not.

HTML is what it says, it's a markup language. You need to use js.

Try this: jsfiddle.net/130r9fka (set it to echo your output if hasFlash is false)

@MahdiJazini: modify the jsfiddle provided with an alert function to pop up a notification with text of your choosing

@mahdijazini, I'm on mobile so can't help too much, but you can use "alert("you have no flash!");" If hasFlash is false. I'll try an expand tomorrow if need be.

You can put it anywhere, the js simply checks if the user has flash

Finally I have made a simple code based on @Manmeet Gill Comment:

<html>
<body>

<div id="chart"></div>

<Script Language="JavaScript">
	var hasFlash = false;
	try {
		hasFlash = Boolean(new ActiveXObject('ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash'));
	} catch(exception) {
		hasFlash = ('undefined' != typeof navigator.mimeTypes['application/x-shockwave-flash']);
	}
	
if (hasFlash==true) {
    document.getElementById('chart').innerHTML = "<!-- Flash HTML Code here -->"
} else {
        document.getElementById('chart').innerHTML = "<b>Flash Player Not Installed</b>"
}

</Script>
</body>
</html>

The Script tag should be after the div tag and both should be in the body tag
