What is the best HTML code to add to simple applet tag code so that it fails
gracefully if Java is not working?

These days there are so many ways to have Java not work, involving different
Java VMs and settings in different browsers to turn off Java. What is the
best way now to modify the applet tag code so the user is told that Java is
not working?

The type of HTML code I'd like to add to is of the form:
<applet code="java_working.class" WIDTH="100" HEIGHT="100"></applet>
