Java Detection

[marktold]

Good day to you all

I am trying to get some JavaDetection JavaScript working but am failing (IE mostly)

I am enabling/disabling java add-ons, plug-ins in the browsers to see if the script works but get false results. Anyone can tell me what I am doing wrong (Testing on Window 7 with newes browsers)

Code: Select all

 function IsJavaPluginInstalled() {
            java_installed = true;
            if (navigator.plugins && navigator.plugins.length) {
                for (x = 0; x < navigator.plugins.length; x++) {
                    plugin_name = navigator.plugins[x].name;
                    //document.write( "plugin_name = " + plugin_name + "<br>");
                    if (plugin_name.indexOf('Java(TM)') != -1) {
                        java_installed = true;
                        break;
                    }
                    else if (plugin_name.indexOf('Java ') != -1) {
                        java_installed = true;
                        break;
                    }
                    else if (navigator.javaEnabled())
                    {
                     java_installed = true;
                        break;
                        }
                }
            }
            return java_installed;
        }

I want to go Flash, if not then HTML5/CSS3, then JAVA if not error message.

Kind regards Markus

Hi Markus,

Glad you are still active. We changed from using Live messenger to Skype... when Win Live Messenger started issuing ERR's something about 'dual or double' something.

Only wanted to let you know that forum people are reading your comments. Maybe someone will come with an answer to your java issue.
