I have been trying to work out how to detect if the VML Active X Object is

Testing 'VMLRender' with typeof always reveal an object though whether an
Active X Object is there or not :(

IE exposes ided elements as global variables thus with
<object id="VMLRenderer "></object>
that object element is exposed as a global variable meaning
typeof VMLRenderer
or
typeof window.VMLRende rer
yields 'object'. That does not depend on whether the object has a
classid pointing to some ActiveX.
