ok, thanks for the feedback. My opinion, at this point, is that this is
NOT foolproof for all browsers, but it's probably good for the vast majority

Friends--
I have returned from my (too) short hiatus, and got back to work on the
Java detection business. I *think* this may actually work the way I want
it too now...
please again, go to

and let me know your findings.
What I've scripted this to do is ONLY supply the applet approach if the
LiveConnect approach does not work. So, hopefully, your experiences will
bear this out. You'll see the normal debugging banter so don't be alarmed.
cheers!
I've tested in FF 2.0.x, with and without Java enabled; and Konqueror
3.5 with and without java enabled, and results are what I expected/ wanted.
FF3.0.1, I have several JRE installed (Sun, IcedTea). Fails to detect the JRE.
Also, the font size in the green button is so small that is is illegible (I
had to zoom in to around 140% to read it). Also, message in the Status Bar
is "Applet started".
Opera 9.51 works, detects the JRE (seems to need to run the applet though).
Also the text is larger and readable at 100%. Debugging text reads:
Liveconnect version: 1.7.0-internal
ParseFloat conversion: 1.7
Konqueror works. Text is legible as well. Only debugging text reads "Writing
Applet".
Epiphany fails. Not even your debugging text. However, text size is legible.
Those are all the browsers I have available (all under Mandriva Linux 2008.1,
KDE).
Seems that with Opera and Konqueror, the IcedTea Java is detected correctly,
since the info says that the JRE is "1.7.0", which is the Iced Tea version
number (my Sun installation is 1.6.x).
