applet

I have an ASP .NET website that hosts a Java applet. The Java applet requires version 1.6 Update 11 of the Java runtime.

How can I detect that a client has the appropriate runtime installed so that I can display an informative message if they do not?

Thanks,

Carl.

EDIT: The solution must be platform independant.
