    I want to detect the version of the JVM that is being used by the
    browser, for both IE & Firefox (and maybe also Opera & Safari if
    possilbe).

    I have searched around the web for such a program, however it seems
    that all I can find is people that have done it by means of a Java
    appplet. This is all very well, but it doesn't help me because I want
    to return the result (version & Supplier) to the browser to fill in a
    webform. I would prefer if this could be done in Javascript.

    This is fairly simple in netscape because navigator.plugins is
    populated with the info that I want. However Microsoft haven't
    implemented this in IE. So it doesn't work in IE.

    Does anybody know a simple way of doing this that a NON-Java developer
    could use?

    thanks
    chris
