Flash header I built for my website won't render on iPad.

Question

I'm aware of the fact the iPad doesn't support flash so I'm trying to figure out how I can detect an ipad visiting my site and provide an alternate html header. I'm sure there must be some code snipit I can add to my site but have not been able to find something. Any suggestions?

Inside your <object... tag (usually below all your params) you can put in content to be displayed as an alternative to the flash if it cannot be played.
e.g.
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="545" height="148" id="FlashID" title="Your Title">
    <param name="movie" value="movie.swf" />
    <param name="quality" value="high" />
    <param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
    <param name="swfversion" value="8.0.35.0" />
    <!-- This param tag prompts users with Flash Player 6.0 r65 and higher to download the latest version of Flash Player -->
    <param name="expressinstall" value="expressInstall.swf" />
    <!-- Next object tag is for non-IE browsers. So hide it from IE using IECC. -->
    <!--[if !IE]>-->
    <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="movie.swf" width="545" height="148">
    <!--<![endif]-->
    <param name="quality" value="high" />
    <param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
    <param name="swfversion" value="8.0.35.0" />
    <param name="expressinstall" value="/js/expressInstall.swf" />
    <!-- The browser displays the following alternative content for users without Flash Player -->
    <div>
        <a href="index.php" title="Your Title"><img src="logo-noflash.png" alt="Your Title" /></a>
    </div>
      <!--[if !IE]>-->
    </object>
    <!--<![endif]-->
</object>
