IE 5.5 and greater on Windows
Safari 2.0 and greater on Mac OS X
Opera 8 on Windows
Mozilla/Firefox/Netscape on Windows and Linux/Unix.
I believe that the code that is generated is now fully HTML-4-compliant.
If someone else wanted to double-check this then that would be great.
Other browsers continue to use the <applet> tag.
I haven't time to test this as I am about to go on vacation but I
believe it is based on a misaprehension. You can *not* switch to the
<object> tag for most of the browsers on the list, and anyway last
time I looked IE Win and Gecko-based browsers needed a different
markup. There were also problems with jar files. If it were that
simple Sun wouldn't have it's knickers in such a twist over applet
markup. I guess I'll see when I get back.
