This link (http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/javascript/2001/07/20/plugin_detection.html) should help you out with Netscape, but for IE you will have to look for a VB script.

try using this as well

if(navigator.javaEnabled()){
//plugin is installed and java is enabled.
}

See what's installed on Netscape and Gecko engine browsers:

function pluginInfo() {
var list="";
var len=window.navigator.plugins.length;
for(var i=0; i<len; i++) {
list+="\n"+window.navigator.plugins.item(i).name;
}
alert(list);
}
