Converting svgcheck.vbs to a java script

Adobe provides this vbs file that is necessary to use their SVG Viewer
plugin. However vbs is not recognized on Mozilla and i need to convert
this to a Javascript file. I have no idea of vbs. Can someone help ?
Following is the vbs :

' Copyright 1999-2000 Adobe Systems Inc. All rights reserved.
Permission to redistribute
' granted provided that this file is not modified in any way. This
file is provided with
' absolutely no warranties of any kind.
Function isSVGControlInstalled()
on error resume next
isSVGControlInstalled = IsObject(CreateObject("Adobe.SVGCtl"))
end Function

Thank you so much

The following script is a rough translation into JScript but Mozilla doesn't
support the ActiveXObject function either so this won't work in a browser.
Even if you just made the function return true later on the main code
wouldn't be able to crate the necessary objects.
I think you need another solution.
In what context is this being used?

function isSVGControlInstalled()
{
try
{
var o = new ActiveXObject("Adobe.SVGCtl");
o = null;
return true;
}
catch(e)
{
return false;
}
}

But if this is called

Joe,

Thanks you for your response. Basically I am trying to determine if
the SVGViewer is installed on my client machine. If it is not then I'd
like to display the plugin pop-up for the user asking them to
downloand SVG Viewer in order to be able to view their SVG charts.

thanks
bhavna.
