Detecting a particular JAVA JRE plugin?

[jschrock]

I have recently seen code that detects whether the native JVM is installed on the browser (I don't have the code at this time..). I was curious if JavaScript code can be written that can detect a particular version of the Sun's JRE plug-in. Wondered if anybody could describe how this would be coded or had a similar need. Talk to you later, Jay.

I seriously doubt that JavaScript can do this without the aid of Java or some MS specific code..the most javascript can do is

if(navigator.javaEnabled()){
//has jre installed
}
