Re: How to inform web site visitor that Sun Java is required?
Hi,
I hope this is the correct forum to make this post. If not, please let
me know.
I am by no means an expert html coder, but I can do enough to get small
jobs done. That said, I have a number of relatively simple web sites
that I developed (with FrontPage 2003) that require Java to display
certain components correctly. Is there some html code that I can insert
that would check if the user has Sun Java installed, and if they do not,
provide some kind of visual indication (perhaps a pop-up box) as
how/where to get Sun Java?
Thank you in advance your help on this.
Regards,
Brcobrem
There is no HTML you could write, but there is some JavaScript:
function checkSunJava() {
if (java.lang.System.getProperty("java.vendor").indexOf("Sun") != 0)
alert('This page requires Sun Java.');
}
Alternatively, if your requirement is merely that the person needs Java,
this should (untested) work:
<applet ...> <!-- Or object or whatever -->
This page requires Java to work properly.
</applet>
