How to detect if IE is having JAVA blocked (security)

Question

How to detect if IE is running with HIGHEST security and JAVA APPLET will not appear. It seems IE does not show alternative content of java object in this case.

I like to display some instructions to end user how to adjust their security settings IF java is disabled.

Is there difference in INTRANET ZONE how this works when compared to INTERNET zone?

Answer 1

Did you try the navigator.javaEnabled method?

There is also a clientCaps.isComponentInstalled method, but didn't ever used it.
