Detecting whether JAVA plugin is present/enabled

[SpeedFreak]

Hey,

I am looking for a way to determine whether a visitors computer is capable of displaying java appletts. Basically, if java is installed and enabled i want to display the applet, else i wanna display a jpeg image.

Is there a way to do this with js?

Cheers

Whatever is inside the <applet>...</applet> tag will be displayed if the browser has no java plugin or it is disabled.

<applet ...>
<param name...>
Disabled or no java plugin.
