But if you want to reach a wide audience (isn't Java largely about "platform independence") then you must account for all the users using Netscape 4.7x which I do not believe the applet tag will invoke the Java Plug-in. (Gee, it'd be nice if Sun could chime in and explain all this to us). - John

Hi all, As far as I can tell the Java Plugin totally replaces any JVM that currently exists in IE. Therefore by just using the tag the Java Plugin will be used. This works on Win98, 2000 Pro and XP. I'm pretty sure this is true for JRE/JDK 1.3 (at some point in time, 1.3.1+ maybe) and 1.4. As f

I have tried using HTMLConverter from Sun Microsystem's page, however, I never made my Swing applet working. But I hard coded the Object tags in the applet inside my JSP, it worked perfect. Plug-in takes a while, later on the applet runs fast enough. Seems to me we have to plug-in the whole JVM

But if you as a provider of a webpage need to run a Java 2 applet and you don't use the HTMLConverter then the client's browser would have no way to know if it has the correct VM or not. Perhaps the 1.4 "Plugin" can tweak IE and Netscape 6 such that a Java 2 VM is ALWAYS run (actually I believe N

The HTML Converter isn't needed anymore. If you use the latest versions of the Sun Java plug-in (1.4, possibly also 1.3) that plug-in is always used instead of the built-in browser Java (unless you disable the plug-in in the control panel of course). This is how it works for me anyway. Jacob Marn

Lee, My understanding is that you use the HTMLConverter to make your webpage call for Sun's Plug-in which then runs Sun's VM, hence allowing Java Applets to run on the client's machine (after of course they download and install the JRE). - John Wright Starfire Research Lee Zhou wrote: > > -Hi,
