Can i detect if Sun JVM is used?

[K Lo]

Hi anyone has a JavaScript code to detect if a client is using Sun JVM on their browser, or alternatively, to detect he/she is using Microsoft VM on their browser setting?


Any help will be greatly appreciated !

Try this

<script language="JavaScript1.2">
if(window.navigator.javaEnabled()){
alert("Your browser is Java-enabled");}
else{
alert("Your browser is not Java-enabled");
}
</script>

I am not sure if it works on all XP (for instance on my Win XP Home, IE6, with Java enabled it works OK)

No you can not find out if and which JVM is is being used on a system with JavaScript.
navigator.javaEnabled()
will only return true of any type of JVM is linked with browser not a certain type.

Findout from MS site,they might have an ActiveXControl(they prety much have one for every purpose) that might allow you to do this.
