Hello all--
Ok, here's another Java test page to try...yeah...it's goofy because I
didn't take out the banner--see results in upper right hand corner and
in page body.

and yes, it does run an applet. My plans for using this are to NOT run
the applet if the java version can be detected by other means (the
browser supporting LiveConnect) but what I'm primarily interested in at
this time is how well this procedure does at detection, generally.
There are many issues with all of this, of course. Unfortunately, in
some browsers the ONLY way to do java detection is through the applet
method, and there's basically not a whole lot more that can be said
here. The only browsers identified so far that need to go this route are
Konqueror and older versions of IE (maybe 5?). The developer Eric Gerds
and I have ben trying to nail down the quirks over the last day or so.
The js I'm currently using is actually VERY slim compared to the
original which had a lot of features we didn't need.
So...let me know.
I am particularly interested in what anyone who is currently using
Firefox 3.0 on ANY platform gets. Odd mixed results on this one, though
FF2 works fine! :/
