Here is the snippet this site uses to load the java applet:

if(BrowserDetect.browser == "Safari" || BrowserDetect.browser == "Explorer")
{
    document.writeln('<object id="detectjvmapplet" name="detectjvmapplet" WIDTH = "1" HEIGHT = "1" codetype="application/java" type="application/x-java-applet" classid="clsid:8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93">');
    document.writeln('<param name = "code" VALUE = "DetectJVM.class" />');    
    document.writeln('<param name = "codebase" VALUE = "/JavaClasses/" />');
    document.writeln('<param name = "mayscript" VALUE = "true"/>');
    document.writeln('<param name= "scriptable" VALUE="true"/>');
    document.writeln('</object>');
}    
else
{
    document.writeln('<applet code="DetectJVM.class" id="detectjvmapplet" codebase="/JavaClasses/" width="0" height="0"></applet>');
}

Of course if they didn't send Safari down an IE-specific code path everything would work fine :(

(Note that UA spoofing won't work on this site since BrowserDetect.browser is set to 'Safari' based on navigator.vendor, not navigator.userAgent).
