How to know when a MIME file is supported?

You would be able to build a web page that does that... but it would have to display information you have already gathered in previous tests. I know of no way to perform such tests locally within the browser.

This time ff/nn has an edge. Msie has not implement (yet?) mimeTypes collection for (political) reasons? This works for ff/nn. In ie no runtime error as doc said for compatible reason, only it returns nothing.

<script language="javascript">
function checkit() {
var cmimetypes=window.navigator.mimeTypes;
alert("mimeTypes collection length : " + cmimetypes.length);
var info="";
for (var i=0;i<cmimetypes.length;i++) {
info+="["+i+"] "+cmimetypes.type+"\n";
if ((i%25)==24) {
alert(info);
info="";
}
}
}
window.onload=checkit;

Different browser may report slightly different results.
