JavaVM help

My site is using Pjirc (the Java Applet for IRC). I need to make some detection so that if the client doesn't have either the Sun JavaVM or the MS JavaVM installed (detect if they can run java applets basically), then show them how to download it and install it. But I can't seem to find much help on google how to do this. Most of the pages just show me how to detect javascript instead. Bah! Anyone?

Also, anyone know of a good IRC web-client that doesn't use/require a JavaVM. Perhaps one that uses AJAX. But it must be for IRC and work with Unicode. Anyone?

How hard is it to scroll down to the "applet" section?

Hard I guess, I'm pretty stupid. :?

In case others want to know. There isn't detection. Just a message between the applet tags that appears only to those who don't have a JavaVM installed, just like you do for frames. ie.

Code: Select all

<applet code=&quote;&quote; archive=&quote;&quote;>
<param name=&quote;&quote; value=&quote;&quote;>
You will only see this message if you have no JavaVM ...
</applet>
Thanks Weirdan!
