What do you mean by 'applets'? To me, it means java, not javascript. In which case, your question is quite confusing.
Do you mean how can you tell if a browser has javascript enabled? You can't. That's why there are "" tags == to place some text in them that will advise the user that the page they are viewing uses javascript. (Something that makes no sense to me since the user will realize that as soon as s/he tries to do something and nothing happens)
Or, do you mean 'plug-ins', like adobe's acrobat, etc?

I meant, just like with JavaScript you can use the tags if someone's turned off, or doesn't support Javascript, is there a way to do this with an Applet, or maybe ActiveX, like say or a JavaScript command that can do the test i.e. if (document.applet.enabled) etc...
thanks.

well, in my book (The Complete Reference HTML, an Osborne book) it has this:
<APPLET CODE="game.class" ALIGN="LEFT" HEIGHT="250" WIDTH="350" <PARAM NAME=DIFFICULTY" VALUE="EASY"> <b>Sorry, you need Java to play this game.</b> </APPLET>
'
so I guess only 's can go between tags, and everything else will be ignored. Then, if the applet isn't supported, the 'everything else' will be displayed instead.
Good Luck,

Hi David,
I'm a little shaky here (just woke & don't have my books), but...
As far as I know, there is no . You might try:
if (document.object[classID])
for ActiveX. But I would go to the source to be sure

If I come up with anything else, later in the weekend I'll let you know.
