Hi,

Does anyone know to request the version of the Virtual Machine on the
Client (Browser) by JavaScript?

In browsers like NN4, NN7 or Opera 7 which support LiveConnect you can do

if (navigator.java Enabled() &&
typeof java != 'undefined') {
alert (java.lang.Syst em.getProperty( 'java.version') )
}

You would need to insert a Java applet in the page which exposes a
method that allows you to question the above property
java.lang.Syste m.getProperty(' java.version')
The applet method can then be called from JavaScript (at least with IE/Win)
