I have a page running under IIS that uses JavaScript. &nbsp;I have two versions of a Java applet: one compiled for jre1.4 and the second for jre1.6. &nbsp;I need to be able to determine the version of java that the browser is using so I can deliver the correct applet.<br />
<br />
There is a JavaDetect javascript script on pinlady, but it won't run under JavaScript (it is fantastic under javascript). &nbsp;I would like to stay away from using another applet to do the detection, if possible. &nbsp;The only browser we use is IE, so I don't need to worry about cross-browser compatibility.<br />
<br />
Any help appreciated.

IIS is Internet Information Services, the web server included with Windows Server operating systems. All current versions are built on a modular architecture; modules can be added or removed individually so that those required for specific functionality are installed. The full installation of IIS includes HTTP, security, content, compression, caching, logging and diagnostics.
