Does anyone know to request the version of the Virtual Machine on the

In browsers like NN4, NN7 or Opera 7 which support LiveConnect you can do

if (navigator.javaEnabled() &&
typeof java != 'undefined') {
alert (java.lang.System.getProperty('java.version'))
}

Thanks! Do also know something for IE 5 and above?

You would need to insert a Java applet in the page which exposes a
method that allows you to question the above property
java.lang.System.getProperty('java.version')
The applet method can then be called from JavaScript (at least with IE/Win)
