For example, jmol.js could be modified to detect IE (can it >detect whether Java is there? or the right java?) and, if so, > it is possible to detect if Java is working (off the top of my head - javaEnabled? somthing like that). and browser identity is an accessible property, though easily spoofed by browsers these days.
