How to detect Internet Explorer options, particularly Tools-Internet Options-Advanced Settings

Hi,

I have an ASP application that runs on different versions of Windows (XP, 2000, 2003) and IE (5.5, 6, 7)

Because of legacy compliance the web application has to work with Microsoft Java Virtual Machine (MSJVM) or with Sun Java, so we have a different set of applets for each virtual machine. Now, the question is how can i detect wich version of Java is enabled on "Tool-Internet Options-Advanced Settigs"? MSJVM or Java (Sun)?

The clients can have installed one of them or both but the important thing is wich one is enabled in IE.

Thanks,

Johann

Thanks b0lsc0tt:

Finally i checked first the Sun virtual machine with code like this one.

Best regards,

Johann

        try{
            var SJVM = document.JavaVersionApplet.getJavaVersion();
            alerta += "SUN VM: " + SJVM + " enabled\n";
            if (SJVM < "1.6"){
                alerta += "Update to 1.6\n";
            }
            else{
                JVMSUN = true;
            }
        }
        catch(e){
            alerta += "SUN VM: Not installed or not enabled\n";
        }
