User running 8u5 on a Mac attempted to open http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/deployment/applet/lifeCycle.html in Chrome and got redirected to java.com to download SE7, then gets a message saying SE7 doesn't run on Chrome.

This is because there isn't a 64 bit version of Chrome available on Mac yet and the Java on Mac is 64 bit, which is not going to work on 32-bit browsers such as Chrome on the Mac platform. When the page loads, the Deployment Toolkit is used to launch the applet. Because the 64-bit 8u5 is installed but no 32-bit JRE is registered with 32-bit Chrome, the Deployment Toolkit interprets this as having no installed Oracle Java plug-in, so the user is redirected to the java.com download page where 7u60 is the most recently released version.

Need a way to present the lesson to users even if an embedded applet won't run, and not redirect to pages that don't help. Perhaps put the applets on a different page and provide additional information about when applets can't be run.
