MimeType
objects yourself. These objects are predefined JavaScript objects that you access through the mimeTypes
array of the navigator
or Plugin
object:
navigator.mimeTypes[index]where
index
is either an integer representing a MIME type supported by the client or a string containing the type of a MimeType
object (from the MimeType.type
property).
MimeType
object is an element in a mimeTypes
array. The mimeTypes
array is a property of both navigator
and Plugin
objects. For example, the following table summarizes the values for displaying JPEG images:

Plugin
object for the plug-in that is configured for the specified MIME type If the MIME type does not have a plug-in configured, enabledPlugin
is null. enabledPlugin
property to determine which plug-in is configured for a specific MIME type. Each plug-in may support multiple MIME types, and each MIME type could potentially be supported by multiple plug-ins. However, only one plug-in can be configured for a MIME type. (On Macintosh and Unix, the user can configure the handler for each MIME type; on Windows, the handler is determined at browser start-up time.)
The enabledPlugin
property is a reference to a Plugin
object that represents the plug-in that is configured for the specified MIME type.
You might need to know which plug-in is configured for a MIME type, for example, to dynamically emit an EMBED
tag on the page if the user has a plug-in configured for the MIME type.
// Can we display Shockwave movies?
mimetype = navigator.mimeTypes["application/x-director"]
if (mimetype) {
// Yes, so can we display with a plug-in?
plugin = mimetype.enabledPlugin
if (plugin)
// Yes, so show the data in-line
document.writeln("Here\'s a movie: <EMBED SRC=mymovie.dir HEIGHT=100 WIDTH=100>")
else
// No, so provide a link to the data
document.writeln("<A HREF='mymovie.dir'>Click here</A> to see a movie.")
} else {
// No, so tell them so
document.writeln("Sorry, can't show you this cool movie.")
}
suffixes
property is a string consisting of each valid suffix (typically three letters long) separated by commas. For example, the suffixes for the "audio/x-midi"
MIME type are "mid, midi"
.
"video/mpeg"
or "audio/x-wav"
. MimeType
