Testing if Quicktime and Java are installed?

Question

In Javascript how can I test if the user has the quicktime plugin and java plugins installed?

Answer 1

For Java, you can use navigator.javaEnabled(). Or you can look here: http://www.pinlady.net/PluginDetect/JavaDetect.htm

For QuickTime, you can do:

var QtPlugin = navigator.plugins["Quicktime"];
if (QtPlugin) {//QuickTime is installed}
