One way would be to try to create an IFRAME element using Javascript. If that fails, you can be sure that the browser doesn't support IFRAMES. But this requires your user to have javascript enabled.
JavaScript / DHTML / AJAX Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. var e = document.createElement("iframe");
  2. if(!e)
  3.     alert("Your browser doesn't support IFRAMES");
Another way to notify your users would be to place the message between the IFRAME tag. Something like:
JavaScript / DHTML / AJAX Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. <iframe id="iFrm" name="iFrm" src="Source.html">
  2. Your browser doesn' support IFRAMES
  3. </iframe>
  4.  
But it is pretty much a moot point since all modern browsers support IFRAMES.

So keep the link as a part of the content of the iframe tag.
JavaScript / DHTML / AJAX Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. <iframe src="somesource.html" name="frm" id="frm">
  2.   <a href="somesource.html">
  3.     Click here since your browser doesn't support IFRAMES
  4.   </a>
  5. </iframe>
  6.

Try downloading IE2, iCab (a browser), Opera 3 or Netscape 4 since these browsers are known to not support IFrames. Try downloading one of these and testing your page on it. But seriously, this is a dumb test since I am sure everyone must have moved with the times and has stopped using browsers from the stone age.

If you still continue with the test, let me know which browser works for your test.
