C:\Program Files\Netscape\Communicator\Program\Plugins\nppl3260.dll.   
RealPlayer launches fine from another test site.

1.)  Go to the url
2.)  Select real player video to view ('Streets of Belgrade' for example)

that you do not have real player installed ... would you like to download"

The JavaScript code on this page uses document.layers object in form like this:

 if(document.layers)
   searchPlugins();

We no longer support document.layers, thus searchPlugins() (which works fine by 
itself) is never called and RealPlayer is not detected.

There is no way for us to fix the bug. Marking invalid.

Layers again. We don't do layers :) Marking as verified.
