asked on
way to tell if java-plug in is installed or not?
Hello experts,
I have two questions.
1- when the window pops up for someone that says "Doyou want to install and run Java Plug-in 1.4.2" is there a way whether someone clicked "yes" or "no"?
2- is there a way to tell if someone logged into your site has it installed or not?
Thanks,
kesea

unless you happen to be sitting with them client-side as they try to load it or tell them to do something like email you with the result, whereas the one i gave, which is a functional superset of that 'answer', will

Works fine for us, suggest you do a bit of testing before critising peoples suggestions :)
So you can produce a list of client-sides that have tried to load your applet in the last n days and failed can you?
I can actually :)
Then perhaps you can tell all of us how you manage to do it? ;-)

So you can tell me if i've got the plugin installed on a given machine can you?

yes, and for all of our users now as well.
How? What's the url?
Just waiting (and still waiting) for somebody to show me how the answer is correct, and *without* rummaging through server log files. I am quite willing to be proved wrong
