Testing if Rich Text Applet is loaded

I need to reliably test to see if the Rich Text Applet is loaded, preferably during the “onLoad” event.

There are two circumstances when the applet may not load: 1) the java plug-in does not exist on the client browser, or 2) the java plug-in exists, but java has been disabled in the browser settings.

Either way, I need to be able to ensure that the applet is loaded and running before proceeding with editing a form.

Has anyone already done this with javascript so that it will work for both IE and Mozilla?

Thanks,

Have you looked into using @BrowserInfo java property?

@BrowserInfo is useful, but it doesn’t help in the case where a browser has the java plugin but java has been disabled.
